Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations in 1987--8 and 1995 revealed elements of the southern, eastern and western defences of the Hull Citadel. This was a triangular artillery fortification constructed between 1681 and 1690. It occupied a site at the confluence of the rivers Hull and Humber. Research has identified documentation of the construction process, permitting its sequence to be summarised. The archaeological record focused on the construction of brick and masonry scarp walls along the south front; casemated features and passages to the east, and the curtain and north bastion on the west side of the enceinte. This is complemented by detailed documentary evidence which extends to parts of the structures beyond the reach of excavation, or which had been removed at the demolition of the Citadel. Archaeological and documentary evidence also illustrates the conversion of the Citadel to serve as an arsenal, and its rearmament during the Napoleonic Wars. It was levelled in 1865. Redevelopment of the area has usually respected the position of the major masonry structures, and a small part of the east bastion has been reconstructed. | ||||||
