Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In April 2018 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at the Visitors Admissions Centre, Lord Chamberlain's Lower Yard and Pug Yard, Windsor Castle, Castle Hill, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 1NJ (NGR 496913 176882; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken as the initial stage in compliance with a planning condition (No.3) attached to planning approval for the demolition of existing structures and the construction of new buildings (RBWM Planning Ref. 17/01607), based on the advice of Berkshire Archaeology (BA). The evaluation revealed two sections of red brick wall foundation that correlate with garden walls depicted on mid 19th century Ordnance Survey maps, and likely part of the re-development of the Pug Yard in the 1830- 1840s, potentially associated with Blore's work of c.1842. One of the walls appears to be of the Inspector's Garden, and within the enclosed garden area is a large pit that contained a layer of aligned cattle metapodial bones, which may have formed part of a formal bed or planter. A seemingly contemporary brick culvert was also recorded and appears to have served the western range, prior to being replaced by a drainage system in 1911. The walls are cut into or abutted by made ground layers that contain similar brick rubble, while Wall M1022 is underlain by a single layer (L1021) that contains a low quantity of late 13th to 15th century pottery, bone and oyster shell, and may comprise an in site medieval deposit at the base of the stratigraphic sequence. The wall foundations are sealed by a sequence of thin made ground layers that contain Victorian to early 20th century pottery; while there is a common incidence of a sparsely distributed residual medieval finds across the sites, including coarse ware pottery, worked stone (including a window mullion) and a copper alloy harness mount.
