Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed by Amey plc on behalf of Severn Trent Water to carry out Archaeological Observation (AO) of groundworks comprising drill pits and trenching to accommodate approximately 800m of 90mm waterpipe at the National Trust property of Attingham Park Shropshire (NGR: SJ 56123 10080 to NGR: SJ 56698 09675). The area potentially contains evidence of multi-period activity. Three trenches and eight drill pits were opened across two fields to connect the pipework to an existing water main at the northwest extent of Norton Drive. The length of the drill pits varied according to specific engineering requirements. Trench 1 and Drill Pit 1 were opened in an area at the southeast entrance to Norton Drive identified as containing remains relating to a Romano-British temple site (MNA184450). However, no evidence of Romano-British activity was encountered in this area during the groundworks, this being due potentially to disturbance resulting from previous utility works. The pipeline route also passed in very close proximity to two sites associated with the former RAF Atcham, which was opened in 1941 for RAF Fighter Command. However, apart from deposits of demolition material identified in Trench 2 and Trench 3, no evidence was revealed of these sites, namely, Atcham WWII Airfield
