Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation and monitoring between 1998 and 2001 revealed a third-century limekiln and occasional boundary ditches of Romano-British date, followed by a later sequence of intensive occupation relating to the castle and manor house of Castle Cary, possibly commencing in the eleventh century with the construction of a Norman ringwork. The castle was constructed in the twelfth century and its remains survive as the earthworks of an inner and outer bailey adjacent to the site. The castle was abandoned later in the twelfth century following sieges during the reign of Stephen, to be replaced by a later medieval manor house to its west. Portions of several stone-built structures and remains of occupation relating to this establishment, spanning a period from the later twelfth to the early-nineteenth century, were recovered, including evidence for the creation of a partly moated enclosure, probably in the thirteenth or early-fourteenth century. The finding of a lar in the backfill of the limekiln is taken to be an indication of a major Roman building in the vicinity, and the possibility that this building was a temple at the source of the River Cary is explored.
