Abstract: |
<summary>An evaluation, by means of targeted trenches, was undertaken in the Upper Barracks within the Scheduled area of the Norman castle and Charles II's palace (the King's House). Evidence of the remains of the Roman defences of the town was uncovered; they had been mostly destroyed by the construction of the Norman castle. Few structural remains of the Norman and medieval castle survived, mainly due to 17th century robbing and levelling associated with the Civil War, and also the construction of the King's House. However, traces of the upper ward, the lower ward and an immense round tower were discovered. Substantial foundations of the King's House remained, and these corresponded very closely with the drawings of Wren's original design.
