Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at City Walls Road, Worcester (NGR SO 852 548; WCM 102153; List entry Number: 1005282 ). It was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire County Council who commissioned works to block access through the City Wall as part of the Worcester Transport Strategy Key Corridors scheme. The section of the former medieval wall of the Worcester which stands adjacent to the western edge of City Walls Road is well preserved, comprising seven courses of shaped, sandstone blocks with some post-medieval brick infill. A gap in the City Wall at this point had formerly allowed access to an alleyway and a pedestrian bridge crossing City Walls Road. The works required the removal of a brick parapet built on top of the historic fabric of the wall, stopping up access from City Walls footbridge to City Walls Road using reclaimed bricks, the installation of new pedestrian barrier set back at the top of the City Wall, installation of pedestrian deterrent paving installed behind the city wall and repointing of the historic City Wall. The wall is included on the schedule of ancient monuments and consent for these works was obtained from Historic England (ref S00109962) subject to conditions including the provision of an archaeological watching brief. All intrusive works and removal of brickwork close to the historic fabric of the wall were monitored by an archaeologist and a channel of communication was maintained with Dr Neil Rimmington of Historic England to ensure that the works were carried out to an agreed method statement. The works were carried out with no impact on the historic fabric of the wall and no significant archaeological deposits or artefacts were encountered.
