Abstract:		 The programme of archaeological observation undertaken on behalf of Bristol Water plc during water mains renovation works was carried out along carriageways in the Sneyd Park area of Stoke Bishop in North Bristol. Trenches were opened along the course of the existing water main to facilitate slip-lining and thus minimize the need for more extensive excavation. Monitoring along Stoke Road between the water tower and reservoir and the area to the NW of the junction with Ladies Mile was deemed especially important given the existence of the Roman road traveling NW.SE across the central Sneyd Park area. However, ground works carried out along the NW -bound carriageway revealed considerable truncation of earlier deposits by modern road construction activity and also a large utility cut excavated in the road on a parallel alignment immediately to the NE; no remains of archaeological significance were revealed. In addition to the work in Stoke Road, a number of other carriageways were impacted, including Ladies Mile, Stoke Park Road, Stoke Park Road South and Downleaze. In each of these areas, excavations confirmed that the archaeological record had been heavily truncated by infrastructure development in the 19th and 20th century.
