Abstract:		 Watching brief during flight augering works associated with the construction of a new footbridge and remodelling of platform 2. In area with high potential for Roman archaeology. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Castleford Railway Station by Archaeological Research Services Ltd (ARS Ltd) on behalf of Murphy Group Ltd during May 2022. The purpose of the watching brief was to record any archaeological evidence that came to light during the placing of piles for a new pedestrian footbridge using the bore cast in situ technique. Archaeological Research Services Ltd was contracted by Murphy Group Ltd to undertake a watching brief during the piling works (bore cast in situ), on platform 1 and platform 2 at Castleford Railway Station, Castleford, West Yorkshire as part fulfilment of conditioned planning permission. The works revealed an area of made up ground between 2.0m and 2.5m in depth composed at least in part of a layer of demolition debris. Only Piles 17 and 16 did not include evidence of demolition material in the form of brick debris, which may be accounted for by the known presence from historical mapping of areas on the platform that were used for planting.
