Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) carried out an archaeological observation of trenching excavations relating to a new heating system at Croome Court High Green Severn Stoke Worcestershire. With the exception of a small brick-built drain or culvert, no features of significance were present on the south side of the house. Close to the buildings, considerable disturbance was noted relating to drainage serving the converted Stable Block, which was probably installed at some point after the mid-1990s. On the north side of the house, two walls on a northwest/southeast alignment were identified. The difference in alignment suggests these structures may represent an earlier phase, predating the present buildings at Croome. Additionally, wall foundations of local blue lias stone were interpreted as the remains of the building linking the Red Wing and Stable Block, which was demolished in the late 20th century. Three substantial brick culverts and a smaller stone drain were also recorded forming part of the drainage system installed by 'Capability' Brown in the mid-18th century. One of these sections of culvert appeared to represent a continuation of the substantial brick culvert previously identified and recorded by BAL during installation of the LPG tanks on the North Lawn. Cobbles revealed beneath the existing driveway almost certainly formed part of the original surface of the North Courtyard.
