Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment of a site comprising approximately 3500 square metres of gardens located off Kings Weston Road, Henbury, Bristol, produced the following results. At the time of the site visit, the study area was occupied by numbers 15 and 17 Kings Weston Road, their garages, gardens, greenhouses and sheds. Both properties were occupied. Blaise Hamlet, owned by the National Trust, adjoined the north-east corner of the study area. All 9 properties within it were Grade I Listed buildings. During the site visit, the author noted worked flint, slag and possible Roman pottery within the flowerbeds and vegetable gardens of the study area. The earliest documentary evidence of Henbury occurred in a charter of AD 692, which said that King Ethelred of Mercia granted land at Henbury to Oftor Bishop of Worcester. The earliest cartographic record on which the Study Area appeared was a 1773 map by Isaac Taylor although no structures were depicted on the site at this date. By the time of the 1841 Henbury tithe map, Blaise Hamlet had been constructed and an area of land, which later formed the garden of number 15 Kings Weston Road, had been delineated. It was described in the accompanying apportionment as a kitchen garden owned and occupied by John Scandrett Harford and was presumably associated with the Blaise Castle Estate. An 1881 Ordnance Survey Plan depicted a no longer extant structure within the study area. By the time of the 1949 Ordnance Survey Plan, numbers 15 and 17 Kings Weston Road had been built and the study area appeared much as at the time of the site visit. A one-kilometre trawl of the Bristol Sites and Monuments Record produced 94 records relating to the Study Area, including the Iron Age hillforts on Blaise Castle Hill and Kings Weston Hill as well as numerous records relating to activity and settlement of the area from the Neolithic period to the modern era. Of particular interest were the Roman settlements discovered at Henbury School, Stowick Crescent and south west of Moorgrove Wood. No SMR entries were recorded within the Study Area. [Au(abr)]
