Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Corner House, Longdon, Worcestershire (NGR SO 383638 236433). It was commissioned by Duro Builders, in association with a proposed new detached house and garage. Planning permission had been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The archaeological advisor to the local planning authority considered that the development had the potential to impact upon possible heritage assets. The site is within the garden of Corner House, a Grade II listed 17th century timber-framed building and there was potential for significant deposits of prehistoric, Roman, medieval or post-medieval date. Groundworks were observed by an archaeologist and consisted of foundations trenches for the new house and garage and associated drainage including a soakaway chamber. Only natural and modern deposits relating to the cultivation of the garden and driveway surfacing were observed within the groundworks. The natural geology of Arden formation sandstone and siltstone was observed in the foundation trenches, with natural sands and clays seen in the drainage soakaway works to the north-east. No significant archaeological features, deposits or finds were recorded. All finds were from topsoil and service truncations and related to 19th and 20th century activities. There was no surviving subsoil evident due to the modern surfacing in the driveway area and agricultural use and cultivation within the garden, with the previous usage as an orchard and small holding in the 19th and 20th centuries. The extensive brick hardcore under the driveway surfacing probably relates to the earlier farm outbuildings on the property to the north of the current works.
