Abstract:		 This paper is focused on the Royal Fort, one the largest fortifications constructed during this period in the city of Bristol (important largely because of its port) after the Royalists captured the city from the Parliamentarians in 1643. Comparisons to the contemporary fortifications at Oxford and Newark, and other sites in Bristol are examined to determine what elements were used in its original construction. The exact location of the fort is not known; therefore using such archaeological techniques such as geophysics, cartographic and topographical analysis this work has placed the fort in the landscape of the 1640s. With this new location, Geographical Information System (GIS) and view-shed analysis has highlighted the significant position the fortification held during the 1640s civil war landscape of Bristol. This work does illustrate how the English Civil War can be studied from an archaeological viewpoint, and why further examination of this period is necessary.
