Abstract:		 A watching brief at Hartlebury Castle was undertaken on behalf of the Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust, who proposed construction of two car parks with associated tracks, services and drainage. In the south-west of the site a trackway consisting of worn, crushed and worked sandstone blocks was discovered, within a subsoil matrix. This was orientated north-west to south-east, was 3.30m wide and had a raised area 12m long at its south-western limit. A number of medieval ceramic finds were recovered from the surface. The trackway was not recorded on the recent geophysical survey, although it is evident as a landscape feature on the recent Lidar survey and is recorded on the 1888 1st edition Ordnance Survey and later editions as an avenue of trees on the same alignment. The medieval and post medieval finds from the structure and surrounding area suggest an earlier origin of the trackway, providing access between the castle and the surrounding parkland. Additional service trenches were monitored in November 2018 for a gas tank. This was in the vicinity of an Ice House but geophysical anomalies related to 20th Century demolition of a boundary wall, rather than the Ice House structure.
