Abstract:		 In June 2009 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4's 'Time Team' at the site of Hopton Castle, Shropshire (NGR 336667 277930). An evaluation comprising seven trenches identified three major phases of activity on the Site; medieval, early post-medieval and the siege during the Civil War. As well as reviewing what is known about the up standing remains of the tower house, the evaluation also found evidence for the medieval moat and curtain wall. A large cellared building and a stone built tower were also identified within the confines of the bailey. The dating for these remains uncertain, but they were likely to have been still standing during the siege. To the north-east remains were encountered which were interpreted as being structure associated with the early post-medieval re-landscaping of the Site. There was also evidence that elsewhere structures may have been demolished at this time. The evaluation also identified some of the defensive earthworks associated with the 1644 siege. In addition, this assessment was able to re-evaluate the earthwork and geophysical surveys conducted on the Site in light of the archaeology uncovered.
