Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	During January 2019 Trent and Peak Archaeology (hereafter referred to as TPA) undertook an archaeological investigation works at Nottingham Castle. These works were necessitated by proposals for the installation of an electrical substation. They were conducted on behalf of Nottingham City Council (NCC) as part of the Heritage Lottery Funded 'Nottingham Castle Redevelopment Project'. The archaeological investigation within the proposed substation location revealed a number of deposits and features of archaeological interest. The sequence can be summarised as follows: The earliest deposits encountered ((1038), (1037) and (1024)) best interpreted as layers of re-deposited natural sand for the purpose of levelling this part of the middle bailey, perhaps during the construction of the curtain wall. However, a lack of dating evidence does not allow for a confident interpretation. No natural substrate was encountered. Similar deposits identified in an adjacent evaluation trench (NCA15) were interpreted as 17th/18th century in date, although findings from the present excavation suggest that a medieval date is more likely. It may be that the basal deposits identified to the north indicate a localised area of later infilling that is not present in the trench reported upon here.
