Abstract:		 As part of the Heritage Lottery funded 'Nottingham Castle Redevelopment Project', Nottingham City Council will shortly be carrying out landscaping works and the laying of services on the area of the post-medieval carriageway in the Outer Bailey. The following report concerns a programme of archaeological mitigation prior to the redevelopment. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of three trenches across the bank which conceals the carriageway structure and later landscaping deposits. It aimed to ascertain the depths of significant deposits in order to inform the redevelopment strategy and mitigate against substantial harm to archaeological remains present. The Carriageway is first depicted on Badder and Peat's map of 1744,where it spans across the Inner Ditch between the Outer and Middle Baileys. Although the original carriageway collapsed soon after its construction, it was later reformed with an earthern bank. This is documented in the 1751 History of Nottingham by Deering. No evidence was encountered of the original form of the Carriageway or associated features during the investigation. Additionally, no archaeological features or deposits pre-dating the post-medieval period were identified. The most intensive phase of site activity observed is thought to relate to the 18th century reforming of the Carriageway with an earthern bank, as described by Deering in 1751. A number of layers were first used to increase the ground level before large, shallow pits were created to facilitate the insertion of railing. No further structural remains associated with the ramp were encountered. Later landscaping works during the 19th century were also visible in the form of a widespread levelling event and a shallow ditch. Future works should take into consideration the high levels of preservation and relatively shallow nature of the archaeologically sensitive horizons.
