Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken at this site. A geotechnical investigation suggested that preservation of organic peat deposits of unknown palaeoenvironmental potential along the northern boundary of the site. No previous archaeological works had been undertaken on the site, that historically lay within the former King's Orchard, attached to Bristol Castle and first mentioned in 1373. In the mid to late 18th century and at least the first half of the 19th century was occupied by tenements and warehouses. In the late 19th century it was occupied by the Castle Sugar Refinery and then the Castle Flour Mills until their demolition in the 1980s. The geotechnical investigation of the site suggested that the constructional methods used during the erection of the King's Orchard building would have removed any trace of these 18th and 19th century buildings and as a result the site appeared to have a low archaeological potential.
