Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at The Crown, Crown Passage, Broad Street, Worcester (NGR SO 84907 54989; WCM 102098). It was undertaken for K D Paine acting on behalf of J D Wetherspoons Ltd, who are refurbishing the rooms above the property and installing a lift shaft in the east part of the site, with planning permission having been granted by Worcester City Council (P12D0200 and L12D0031) subject to archaeological conditions. This involved the monitoring of the lift shaft works, as this was placed over the entrance to an original medieval cellarage, constructed of stone, brick and tile, and with a number of later additions. After being fully recorded two of these cellar walls were demolished by hand under archaeological supervision. The excavations revealed deposits containing finds of Roman date at 21.90m AoD from deposits that had been cut through to install the original undercroft. A collection of post-medieval clay pipes and glass bottles were also recorded within the backfill of the cellar and from the construction cut of the wall, demonstrating the continued use of the cellars during the post-medieval period. There were also later modern additions including the installation of services and concrete beams to strengthen the property. Once exposed to view, the overall area of the medieval undercroft was also recorded in a measured survey.
