Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief at Newark Castle was undertaken to monitor the installation of an information sign. The sign, which was erected as part of the English Civil War walking trail, required two hand excavated reception pits to establish a secure setting. Excavation ceased when the first archaeological horizon was identified. The layer contained stonework which appeared to be consistent with the building materials used to construct the castle. The layer may represent in-situ demolition materials or may be the result of later re-working of deposits. The limited space in which to characterise the deposits resulted in a cautious working methodology which utilised wider, shallow reception pits rather than the deeper, more intrusive installations which may have disturbed deeper sensitive archaeological remains. |
