Abstract:		 During May 2008, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd (NPAL) were invited by A.P. and J. Brown to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Dove's Yard, St Nicholas Bridge, Carlisle Cumbria (NGR NY 4077 5492). The watching brief was required as part of ongoing works for the construction of a commercial and retail development on land previously occupied by the London and North Western Railway Company and JT Dove Building Supplies. Carlisle City Council had granted prior planning consent for the development; however, an earlier archaeological evaluation on the site, also undertaken by NPAL Ltd identified the remains of two timber structures and a buried soil horizon of possible medieval date. The subsequent ground works involved the excavation of a foundation trench measuring approximately 57m long east west by 14m-north south, at an average width of 1m. The maximum depth of the trench was 1.50m. A substantial east west aligned medieval ditch was exposed at the western portion of site, which probably forms part of a complex of medieval features revealed during the initial evaluation. The eastern section of the site revealed no further evidence of archaeological features or deposits, this is probably due in part to the area being heavily disturbed by the building of the railway and associated engine sheds on site. It is highly likely that the majority of archaeological features in this immediate area have been severely truncated by post-medieval activities.
