Abstract:		 A training excavation in Brewhouse Yard, Nottingham aiming to expand our knowledge of its development and the stratigraphy of the Castle Rock area. Two trenches were hand excavated within the localities of the excavations completed by C. Young in 1975.Trench 01 revealed a number of stratigraphic deposits, the presence of which suggested that this area had not been structurally developed at any point. Finds suggest that lowest excavated deposits dated to the 17th-18th century and are thought to be alluvial deposits associated with the River Leen. Borehole and radiocarbon dating evidence suggest the earliest alluvial deposits at a depth of 3.26m BGL dates to the mid-11th to 12th centuries, suggesting the presence of structures along the banks of the Leen, such as a mill complex, causing the build-up of silt at this time. Organic deposits above these in the stratigraphical sequence are possibly related to the earliest gardens for the castle. Trench 02 revealed a number of pits cut into degraded sandstone bedrock thought to date to the 18th-19th century, suggesting these features to be rubbish pits, however the presence of natural sand and bedrock at such a shallow depth in Trench 02 suggests that all of the material deposited above it dates to the 20th century.
