Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment of land at Hengrove Way, Knowle West, Bristol (centred on NGR ST 59502 69314) was commissioned from Bristol and Region Archaeological Services by GVA Grimley Ltd. in December 2011. Archaeological fieldwork and findspots have shown this part of Knowle West was occupied in the Romano-British period. Aerial photographic evidence reveals the presence of linear features which pre-date 18th-century field boundaries, extending onto the study area. The land was in use as pasture associated with Filwood Farm until the late 1930s when football pitches were laid out behind the houses of Creswicke Road. During WWII more of the land was fenced off for an extension to Whitchurch Airport, a concrete apron was laid for a hangar and at the south-east corner of the study area seven huts were erected. Concrete footings for twelve Nissen huts were laid adjacent to the hangar by 1955. Following the closure of the airport in 1957, the hangar site became an industrial estate, until its clearance in the late 1970s. Landscaping work took place in the 1980s for the creation of Filwood Park and further landscaping has occurred in the 1990s. The concrete apron of the hangar site is used as a training area for HGV drivers. The lines of two 18th-century field boundaries survive and parts of the study area should still be relatively undisturbed, particularly surrounding the hangar site and beneath bunds of earth bordering Hengrove Way.
