Abstract: |
Investigations were undertaken during restoration works. Near the south-west gate the existence of a stone platform, perhaps a 17th century path/driveway, was confirmed. Works to the Fountain Garden Wall, presumed to follow the line of the medieval curtain wall, revealed truncated flues. In the bowling green area, a service trench revealed patches of mortar and stone rubble. Excavations on the terrace viewing area revealed evidence of a significant hollow and of a 17th century path or surface, and part of a stone wall. Probing at the site of a new signboard provided the first clear indication that a deep ditch had skirted the southern defences of the medieval castle. [AIP] |
