Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed by Janine Young, Archaeology Consultant, National Trust, to carry out Archaeological Observation of groundworks relating to an eastern extension of the visitor car park (NGR: SO 88803 45206) at Croome Court, High Green, Worcestershire WR8 9DW. The remains of a Second World War Static Water Tank forming part of the infrastructure of RAF Defford are believed to survive in-situ within the groundworks area. The airfield closed in 1957 and many of the buildings and associated structures were demolished. However, it is considered possible that a concrete base or similar supporting structure relating to the tank may be encountered during the course of the groundworks. The site at the time of observation comprised modern gravel surfacing and grassland, with mature trees and hedgerows. No clear evidence of the water tank structure was revealed; however, a pit opened to a depth of 1.2m for drainage purposes in the northeast corner of the site, revealed evidence of disturbance and possible demolition activity within the subsoil. Whilst this disturbance cannot be conclusively linked to the demolition of the water tank, its very close proximity to the tank's presumed location does suggest an association. No evidence of demolition activity was revealed within areas of shallower excavation nor were any other finds or deposits of archaeological significance present within the groundworks area.
