Abstract:		 Report 1125: Archaeological survey and excavation was undertaken as a result of two major infrastructure projects undertaken in south-east Worcestershire on behalf, respectively, of Worcestershire County Council (Broadway by-pass) and Severn Trent Water Ltd (Cotswolds Spring supply trunk mains pipeline). The results of both these major archaeological projects have been combined in this report, as together they provide data about a land transect stretching from the Cotswolds scarp to the east of Broadway westwards into the Severn Vale as far as the eastern edge of Tewkesbury. Report 1140: An archaeological watching brief survey was undertaken along the route of the Cotswold Spring Supply Trunk Main during its installation by Severn Trent Water Ltd. This identified three sites: a prehistoric and Roman site at Perrin's Farm at Childswickham (Worcestershire), and two sites of Roman date near Stanton (Gloucestershire). At the Perrin's Farm site at Childswickham a complex set of features dating from the Bronze Age (boundary ditch) to medieval times (ridge and furrow) was revealed, including occupation horizons for the Iron Age and Roman periods. The Roman remains were substantial and well-preserved, and included stone buildings and associated material indicative of a high status site. The two sites at Stanton had been largely truncated by later ploughing, but seemed to represent traces of short lived occupation. Archaeological evidence observed along the rest of the pipeline comprised a thin scatter of mainly post-medieval pottery suggesting little previous cultivation in earlier times, possibly as a result of the intractable nature of the heavy (Lias) clay soil in this region.
