Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring, involving on-site inspections, advice and photographic recording was carried out as part of consolidation works at Mitford Castle. Mitford is one of the major castles of Northumberland as well as being one of the best preserved, dating to the 12th and 13th centuries. The programme of consolidation and repair was initiated in response to the evident deteriorating condition of parts of the structure. This involved clearing vegetation from wall tops, core and facing, including the removal of trees and bushes. The wall faces were re-pointed whilst the exposed core was rough racked, grouted and capped. [Au(adp)] |
