Abstract:
Archaeological excavations were carried out in the Governor's Yard, just to the rear (west) of the mid-18th-century Governor's House, itself just west of the winding approach road leading up to Foog's Gate and the upper citadel of the castle. The bedrock showed only limited evidence for modification within the area of the trenches. Examination of the space under the tunnel accessing the Yard from the east showed substantial areas of bedrock visible. This all dropped near vertically to the north, and probably reflects the construction of the Governor's House, although again this is likely to be an enhancement of the existing rock formation, rather than an entirely new creation. Features were seen which were certainly of an older date than the features associated with the construction of the Governor's House, but their age was not obvious at this stage.
