Abstract:		 English Heritage wishes to develop a small area of land within the grounds of Bolsover Castle, Derbyshire. The development site is immediately north of the Bolsover Castle Visitor Centre and approximately 70m south east of the Riding School Range. It is bounded to the east by the castle wall which is situated on the top of a steep escarpment. The open area of the Outer Court is situated to the west. A total of eight trenches were stripped of topsoil in a preset pattern relating to areas where play equipment will be located. Within these areas deeper excavations were undertaken for the foundations of the play equipment. The watching brief has demonstrated that no archaeological remains are present within the proposed development site. With only occasional variation the trenches presented a consistent stratigraphic sequence of topsoil overlying a layer of compacted red clay (the former surfacing of a tennis court), above a subsoil comprising broken limestone chunks and chips within a dark brown silty soil matrix, a deposit known locally as ''ratchel'' which overlies bed rock (dolostone).
