Abstract: |
Between April and July 2016 Trent and Peak Archaeology examined and recorded a total of 31 test pits and ten boreholes within the grounds of Nottingham Castle. Features of particular archaeological interest were noted in several test pits within the Service Courtyard. This included evidence of the survival of the medieval Inner Ditch and post-medieval infilling activity. Structural remains and relict floor surfaces of medieval to post-medieval provenance were also recorded within the courtyard, as well as in the tunnel connecting it to the Outer Bailey. In addition to these findings, investigations within the Outer Bailey produced evidence of the survival of the 17th Century carriageway connecting the Outer and Middle Bailey. Elsewhere in the Outer Bailey, evidence of shallow cut features and relict surface deposits of medieval to post-medieval provenance were encountered. |
