Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	During July 2018 Trent and Peak Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation within a 5.75 x 4.0m area of the Middle Bailey of Nottingham Castle (SK 56836 39470). The works were necessitated by proposals for the installation of an electrical substation as part of the 'Nottingham Castle Redevelopment Project' and were conducted on behalf of Nottingham City Council.The excavation revealed a complex stratigraphy, suggesting considerable reworking and re-shaping of the grounds in this area in the later post-medieval to modern period. Ditch [1028] has been tentatively identified as an earliest cut feature of this recorded sequence was ditch [1028], which was provisionally dated to the 13th-14th century through the recovery of a single sherd of pottery from its fill, though additional finds of later post-medieval date, and adjacent post-medieval deposits (1025) displaying an uncertain stratigraphic relationship make this interpretation unreliable. Ditch [1028] was post-dated by a possible wall core [1024], which itself was post-dated by potential structure [1022]. All three features were only characterised to a limited extent within the confines of the excavation, although the contents of the deposits sealing them do suggest a post-medieval or earlier date.
