Abstract:		 An archaeological and historical assessment of land at Firepool, Taunton, comprised a review of existing data on the Somerset County Council online HER database, at Somerset Record Office and Somerset Local Studies Library. In addition, a site walkover was carried out. The land-use consisted of railway land, a livestock market and car parking areas. The site lay on the northern fringes of the historic town. Previously recorded sites comprised the northern edge of the medieval priory precinct crossing through the southern part of the site, the former Grand Western Canal and a former 19th century public house and canal bridge. An examination of historic maps has established that during the early 19th century much of the site was farmland, although a small number of buildings and structures were also present, including a wharf adjacent to the Grand Western Canal. The survival of any buried archaeological deposits that might be present was likely to be variable across the site, but there was probably greater potential in the southern portion, away from railway land.
