Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted during groundworks for a new admissions building and related underground services within the scheduled area lying outside the castle walls in the vicinity of the gatehouse. Part of an outer bank associated with the late 15th-century castle's defensive ditch was exposed, as well as remains from a retaining wall which once flanked the carriage drive leading to the castle. An extensive dump of re-deposited natural slate stone and clay which had been spread across much of the area is interpreted as part of the levelling of the defences in the 16th or 17th-century, and the creation of a courtyard outside the gatehouse. Overlying the dump were deposits containing numerous fragments of broken ashlar and other building stone which had been robbed from the castle after its abandonment c. 1700. The stone appears to have been re-dressed outside the castle gatehouse before being carried away for re-use elsewhere. The watching brief was carried out in June and July 2006 by Stewart Brown Associates, and funded by English Heritage. The site of the ruined castle (OS SX83896232; Monument No. 21706) is owned by the Duke of Somerset and managed by English Heritage.
