Abstract: |
A geophysical survey consisting of a Fluxgate gradiometer survey, magnetic susceptibility survey and resistivity survey was undertaken as part of an estate management survey for the castle and bailey (Scheduled Ancient Monument 12844). The findings included linear and rectilinear features which could have indicated the presence of structural remains within the castle bailey, and a possible approach route to the gatehouse. Resistivity anomalies on the castle mound were irregularly distributed and suggested the presence of scattered deposits of rubble or debris rather than wall footings or other intact structural features.
