Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March and September 2009 at Castle Combe, Wiltshire. An earthwork survey recorded the extant remains of a stone-built tower/keep structure, and surrounding earthwork mound, within the south-western part of the site. An archaeological watching brief and smallscale excavation partially exposed and recorded the internal faces of the structure during works to consolidate the remains. At least two medieval structural phases were recorded and the original tower appears to have been free-standing and of at least three storeys, before being modified by the addition of a surrounding earthern mound. Medieval pottery indicates an earlier medieval date for the recorded part of the tower fabric. |
