Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Severn Trent Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief on a borehole survey as part of flood alleviation work towards the eastern side of Lowesmoor in Worcester. The borehole was located at NGR 385335, 255225 within the existing highway of Lowesmoor Terrace. Archaeological investigations within and around the Study Area have recorded archaeological sites, deposits and find spots dating from the prehistoric to modern period. However, much of the known and potential archaeological resource with the Study Area reflects the expansion and contraction of the urban suburb of Lowesmoor through the Post-medieval to modern periods. Consequently there is an increased potential for the presence of archaeological remains dating to these periods. There is also a potential for recovering remains relating to a background level of Romano- British to Medieval activity within the Site. The borehole lies within the outline of a structure shown on an 1850's map, which was demolished during the 1980's. Prior to the 18th century the area was underdeveloped, and is believed to have been arable fields. The borehole was drilled through the existing pavement and beneath this approximately 1m of post-medieval made ground was observed. Underlying this was the underlying geology consisting of alluvial gravels, colluvial silty clay and natural mudstone bedrock. No archaeological finds or features of medieval or older date were encountered during the monitoring.
