Abstract:
SO 457203. Excavation of the castle interior showed that the curtain wall had been built on the old ground level, with a contemporary range of domestic buildings inside the W wall. An intended E range had been abandoned because of river flooding. The apparent motte was illusory: gravel from the (revetted) ditches had been tipped inside the castle to raise the courtyard level. The round keep had been built on a slag layer covering this, with thick foundations incorporating re-used building material. In the second half of 13th cent, the W range was altered to give more accommodation above flood level, part of the original hall being relegated to cellar space. Pottery (12th to 14th cents) includes unglazed cooking pots with infolded rims, and rouletted and glazed jugs, one from SW France. Apart from a fireplace inserted into the W range, the masons marks and moulding stops are consistently early 13th cent and, despite recorded expenditure in 1183-1201, the present castle was probably built between 1219 and 1232.
