Abstract:		 Pre-Castle activity represented by late-Saxon soil layers was seen in two of the trenches. Evidence for medieval activity was limited, and the only significant medieval structure found was part of a large wall, again at the southern end of the site, which may have represented a link to the city wall rather than being part of the curtain wall of he castle. In situ deposits of medieval date appeared to have survived in both the main moat and in the motte ditch. No features were identified associated with the east gate of the castle or with Shire Hall. The area of the former was partly disturbed by prison buildings, and the location of the latter may have been completely removed by extensive gravel quarrying, probably of later 18th century date. The motte ditch was partly re-cut by a substantial linear feature, also of post-medieval date. Nineteenth century prison features were identified. [Au(abr)]
