Abstract:
Outlines the main areas to be explored by a PhD project looking at the phenomenon of urban castle construction in England in the later 11th and early 12th centuries, in the context of the Wallingford Project [see the preceding article in this volume, pp53-57]. Regional studies will allow comparative analysis not only of urban castles in different towns, but also with urban settlements in which no castle was constructed. The two key forms of evidence to be utilised will be the results of excavations and original earthwork survey. Research to date has made important steps in the reassessment of both castles themselves and their urban form; some original archaeological identifications have been made at Winchcombe in Gloucestershire and Wallingford in Oxfordshire. At a broader level it is becoming clear that archaeological understanding of towns across this period is in need of significant revision before any attempt to understand the imposition of castles within their fabric can be confidently undertaken.
