Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was conducted on the proposed housing development area, and included topographic and geophysical surveys and trial trenching. A documentary survey established that the castle was founded by c.1125. The topographic survey found field boundaries ditches, platforms and land drains. The geophysical survey recovered several anomalies. Six trial trenches excavated a ditch, a substantial early land drain, evidence for a former hedge and a substantial platform containing three medieval sherds, a gully and a smaller platform. The gully was the only feature which could be securely stated to pre-date the post medieval period, although the platforms identified may also have been medieval outbuildings. [AIP] |
