Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The pre-construction groundwater assessment at Brooklyn Garage, Alcester, Warwickshire (NGR ref. SP 08817 57343) has been requested by Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd on behalf of Green Villa Developments: Midland Ltd in response to a brief prepared by Warwickshire County Council. There is good preservation of wood and other organic material beneath the development site at Brooklyn Garage, Alcester. This data analysis aims to provide a baseline for the properties of the burial environment, and suggest guidelines to indicate where intervention may be required to preserve the burial environment, should changes from the baseline data occur. The three boreholes used for data collection are located towards the edges of the development site. Borehole BH3 is in the entrance of the site and WS6 is to the rear of existing buildings alongside the site. These two locations are documented as the wetter zones beneath the site. WS7 is to the rear of the development site, close to the supermarket car park and located close to the site of the Roman Granary. This is recorded as being in a drier zone of the site. Results suggest that there is a little variation in level over time. However, there have also been significant changes in the reference points, as the well heads have been removed and the top of the wells eroded during monitoring, so no firm conclusions can be drawn from the results. Water levels should also continue to be monitored with more stable ground/datum levels established, along with continued conductivity, pH and OPR readings. It is suggested that one reading at the baselines established for the individual boreholes should trigger a repeat measurement after one week and if that again gives the high level reading, action should be taken by contacting the client and the curator.
