Abstract: |
The programme of archaeological work at Castle Gate, Wetherby, demonstrated the presence within the site of extensive below-ground remains of an apparently short-lived Norman tower keep castle, one of only some 77 examples known from across the country. That the castle was not subsequently altered during the later medieval period meant that it retained its original layout and was of increased importance. The remains were hence considered to be of national importance with the area to be Scheduled upon completion of the development. In addition, the work identified the presence within the site of deposits associated with several phases of prehistoric, Romano-British and later Anglo-Saxon activity. [Au(abr)] |
