Abstract:		 An Archaeological Evaluation was carried out by Avon Archaeology Limited in June 2020 at Castle Park Depot, Castle Park, Bristol, at the request of the local authority. This work follows a recently produced Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment of the site (Ings 2019). Both pieces of work form part of the formal planning submission for the demolition of the present single-storey depot building at the western end of the site and its replacement by an 'energy centre'. The building will initially be of two storeys but includes scope in the design for an additional five storeys. The large number of services in the area prevented the trial trenches from being sited to reflect the location of the planned piles for the development, and instead were situated where possible between these services. Ultimately, two east-west trenches were excavated, of 4m x 2m and 6m x 2m respectively. As the initial archaeology uncovered was of 20th century date, a large sondage was excavated at the eastern end of the trench prior to backfilling. This revealed earlier deposits of probable 18th and 19th century date. Trench 2 contained deep deposits of made ground which continued below the level of excavation, with the exception of a portion of 20th century wall at its western end. The 20th century remains were found at a depth of 0.7-0.8m below ground level in both trenches, whilst 18th - 19th century features lay at a depth of 0.8m-1.45m. No dateable finds were recovered.
