Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, consisting of desk-based assessment and the excavation of two trial trenches, was undertaken prior to residential and office development. This range of buildings involved lay within the moated area close to the entrance of the castle courtyard. Both evaluation trenches suggested that the surviving deposits on this part of the site dated, almost exclusively, to the post-medieval period. A single sherd of 13th-14th century pottery indicated limited use in the medieval period, with no associated surfaces or structures detected. Despite the lack of direct evidence, however, the proximity of the castle's entrance suggested buildings in this area were likely during the medieval period. The absence of evidence may have been due to the ephemeral nature of the putative buildings, thorough robbing and re-use of material following demolition, or extensive post-medieval disturbance.
