Abstract: |
An integrated programme of test trenching, standing building recording and survey over exposed areas of bedrock was completed at intervals between June and November 2013. The earliest features revealed were traces of eroded rock-cut features comprising slots and crudely-squared cuts thought to pre-date mid-16th century masonry. The masonry and other remnants of defensive features were thought to range from the mid-16th century to the late 18th century, over which the first of the works to install water towers were carried out in the mid 19th century, with further work on new water towers in the early 1900s. |
