Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation comprising a programme of trial trenching and auguring was undertaken in order to assess the presence and character of the archaeological resource with the SAM of Welbourn Castle. Previous geophysical survey had identified structures, walls and rubble spreads at the site, which was considered to have been of medieval date. Stamford ware pottery of the 10th-12th century was retrieved from the site and indicated activity dating either, prior to or from the period of the castle's initial construction. The investigation revealed that the geophysical signals, in part of the site, were produced by wall tumble and ditches dated to the 13th-14th century with further features, including a probable perimeter rampart of clay, also being recorded. The retrieved artefacts were indicative of a medieval domestic assemblage. Demolition rubble was recorded within the trenches confirming the abandonment of the site after this period. Robber trenches suggested that the stone was removed probably to be used within the village. Limestone rubble recorded at the base of the auger holes probably related to this period of demolition and abandonment when rubble would have been tipped down the earthwork. A dearth of finds dating to the post-medieval period suggested that the site remained abandoned until the 18th-20th century, when the site appeared to have been used for agricultural purposes and more recently the tipping of modern waste.
