Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent Water Ltd of the Grandstand Syphon, Grand Stand Road, Worcester (NGR SO 8439 5512; HER ref. WCM 101488). Approximately one quarter of the total site area was available to monitor. No significant archaeological deposits or layers were identified, nor finds recovered during the project. Alluvial clays were identified at approximately 3.50m depth. Their sterile nature indicates that they probably seal natural river terrace deposits, rather than Roman industrial dumps, as have been recorded elsewhere within the vicinity. A brick structure was revealed, which is considered to be the Engine House recorded on later 19th century maps, associated with The Butts and riverside railway branch line. To the east an earlier tarmac road surface was recorded at approximately 1.50m depth below the present road. Otherwise mixed layers of sandy silts and clays were recorded either side of the brick structure. These are considered to represent deliberate dumps, designed to raise the riverbank, either for the 19th century railway line or for later flood prevention.
