Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief was undertaken at Units 1 and 2 Castle Precinct, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. This work was required to meet a condition placed on Scheduled Monument Consent. The archaeological watching brief consisted of preparing a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) and monitoring the excavation of two test pits. The test pits were designed to inform future engineering strategies necessary to stabilise the building. The present building was built as a 'National School' (c.1814). The results of the watching brief confirmed the presence of Late Medieval contexts, which were probably associated with the upper deposits of Knaresborough Castle's moat. |
