Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of English Heritage at Witley Court, Great Witley, Worcestershire (SAM 306; centred on NGR: SO 7695 6494; WSM 42112). Three postholes were excavated on the East Parterre and adjacent to the Conservatory; two reexcavations of existing panels posts and one new excavation. The silty sand topsoils in all three were interpreted to have been imported for the landscaping of the formal gardens to the south and east of the house in the 18th and 19th centuries. Brick fragments were observed at the base of the posthole adjacent to the Conservatory. They were of indeterminate post-medieval date, although may represent demolition debris associated with a previous phase of building of the Conservatory. The natural Triassic sandstone was observed within the base of the postholes on the East Parterre, directly below the soils. It was not possible from this small intervention to define with any more accuracy the exact date or period of construction of the formal gardens. No further significant archaeological features, layers, horizons, deposits or structures were exposed, nor artefacts recovered.
