Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Outside Studios at Malvern Priory, Church Street, Great Malvern, Worcestershire (NGR SO 77590 45890; HER ref WSM70288). The project comprised the installation of two interpretation plinths as part of a Heritage Lottery Funded heritage trail called Route to the Hills. This was considered to have the potential to affect heritage assets of archaeological interest (HER ref 00491 and 00492). No significant archaeological features or deposits were observed, though the presence of a 18th- 19th century made-ground horizon may reflect large-scale earth moving associated with the documented renovations of 1860-62. No grave cuts or articulated human remains were present within the trenches, and any disarticulated human remains were retained on-site for immediate reburial. The presence of two 15th century medieval floor tiles from deposits in both trenches is significant, and can be associated with the documented discovery of two tile kilns c 200m to the east of the Priory in c 1833 and 1902 (WSM00505). At least one tile is a waster fragment and so adds to a growing body of evidence for on-site tile production within the Priory grounds. This is further supported by evidence from the previous watching brief (WSM57086) where two medieval tile waster fragments were also recovered.
