Abstract:		 In order to secure archaeological interests, Bristol City Council recommended that a condition was attached to the 2007 planning permission that required an appropriate programme of archaeological excavation to be carried out in advance of development. Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned subsequently to undertake a major programme of archaeological investigation of the site, which commenced in April 2007. This allowed for the full excavation of the application site, including Area ND5, coupled with an archaeological watching brief that was maintained during groundworks associated with the development. The excavation exposed considerable remains of historic glassworks of regional importance, and enabled a comprehensive record to be made of the buried remains in advance of their ultimate destruction. The physical remains of the eighteenth-century glass furnaces were fragmentary, although well-preserved remains of four regenerative glass furnaces, together with a bank of associated gas producers, a probable annealing house, and ancillary structures were exposed. Excavation provided some evidence for the application of design improvements to the furnaces and the results offer a valuable opportunity to elucidate details of the evolution of glass furnace technology during the later nineteenth century. The record of the physical remains is enhanced considerably by a large assemblage of glass-manufacturing debris, which has some potential to furnish important details of the manufacturing processes carried out at the works. Other remains exposed during the excavation included a nineteenth-century dock and associated railway lines, which had been constructed across the site of earlier stone buildings.
