Abstract:		 A series of initially four test pits were excavated in order to reveal the internal and external faces of the south bastion of Snodhill Castle, two on each face. A fifth trench was added in order to investigate a presumed cupboard within the internal face of the wall and this trench was then extended in order to reveal the entire internal face of the bastion. The two external trenches provided information concerning the extent of the ashlar wall face and the extent of footings. The internal trenches revealed the location of two windows, one facing east-north -east and one facing to the south east. It was evident that the internal face of the wall had been rebuilt in order to accommodate at least the north-east facing window and moving the internal angle of the wall to the east. It was also noted that the western jamb of the south-eastern window had been altered in order to change the angle of the window and that the wall had been roughly cut back at this point and that the top section of the north-eastern wall had been re-built using re-used stone. It is suggested that the latest phase of rough re-building and re-modelling of the window jamb is associated with the hurried re-fortification of Snodhill Castle during the Civil War. The external trenches confirmed that the wall appears not to have any below ground foundation and that it was constructed onto a terrace cut into the hillslope.
