Abstract:		 The key archaeological potential was based on the location of the groundworks within the outer bailey of Carlisle Castle (NHL 1014579). The monument includes the upstanding and buried remains of Carlisle medieval tower keep, two lengths of Carlisle city wall, a 16th century gun battery and the buried remains of the Roman fort (Luguvalium), much of which underlies the later castle. There was the potential for important surviving sub-surface archaeological remains to be revealed by groundworks occurring as part of the repair works to the electricity cable. The archaeological watching brief, undertaken on Wednesday 21st February 2018, monitored all groundworks associated with the repair of a sub-surface electric cable. This consisted of the excavation of an L-shaped trench by a small mechanical excavator. The excavation was located adjacent to the substation, which was situated on the southern edge of the castle, to the west of the main gatehouse. The L-shaped trench was excavated over the top and either side of a series of high voltage electric cables buried at a depth of 0.40m. Essentially the trench matched the route of the cables and therefore previous groundworks. Modern deposits of topsoil, tarmacadam, gravel, sand and sub-base were encountered along with post medieval made ground and redeposited natural substrate. Despite the high potential for archaeological features to be encountered during the scheme, of works, no evidence for significant archaeological features was observed
