Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Documents the history of the medieval castle and reports on a series of excavations begun in 1975 and evolving into a formal training excavation. Large quantities of twelfth- and thirteenth-century artefacts (including pottery, iron, copper-alloy, and building materials) imply a residence of some description in the area. It is suggested that the earliest nucleus of the manor lay to the east on an unexplored promontory. The visible remains of the castle seem to date to the decades either side of 1400 and conform to the tradition of late fourteenth- to early fifteenth-century castle building: towers at the corners of a quadrangle with connecting ranges. The castle is suggested to have had defensive pretensions although some sacrifices were made for the sake of comfort. In c. 1760 the majority of the medieval buildings were demolished and the park was landscaped. | ||||||||||||||
