Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Oak Grove, St John's Lane, Wyre Forest, Worcestershire (NGR SO 75466 74928). It was commissioned by Countryside Services, Worcestershire County Council, in association with a proposed pond to mitigate flooding in the Wyre Forest. The works were carried out under permitted development rights. Worcestershire County Council Historic Environment and Landscape Advisor considered that the works had the potential to impact upon potential archaeological deposits as a Bronze Age flint slug knife (PAS ref-WAW-8C4867) had previously been found on the surface of a track in the vicinity, and there is the potential for worked flint across the Wyre Forest. The excavated pond was triangular in shape, a maximum of 7.5m by 9m, and 0.90m deep. A sequence of topsoil, subsoil and natural deposits were observed. A trench for a land drain across the adjacent footpath was recorded. The fill consisted of modern materials and redeposited natural. The only finds were of post-medieval and modern date, including white porcelain, machine-made bricks and ferrous metalwork, such as nails. They were residual, and recovered from the topsoil and subsoil. They were identified, photographed and discarded on site. There were no worked flints. No significant archaeological features, layers, structures or horizons were identified.
