Abstract:		 Border Archaeology undertook a programme of limited archaeological excavation prior to the implementation of structural alterations affecting the dwelling known as 'Clifford Castle'. The site lies within the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM HE36, HA 1001774) area of Clifford Castle and the excavation was undertaken to fulfil the conditions of the Scheduled Monument Consent (S00059598). The excavation comprised foundations for an extension on the southern and western sides of the existing building and a circular excavation for a wine cellar. All excavation was by hand or by machine under archaeological supervision. A number of pits and surfaces were revealed apparently dating to the later 12th or early 13th centuries. The foundation of a possible structure was also identified which may be interpreted either as the continuation of a wall discovered during previous excavations carried out in 2007 or as a wall running parallel to it. This feature also ran parallel to the projected line of the curtain wall. Four of the five pits excavated contained little evidence for refuse disposal and it is possible that they represented quarrying activity for the extraction of building material: it is thought the castle was rebuilt in stone at some point prior to the middle of the 13th century. Late 12th -or early 13th -century pottery recovered from layers sealing these pits may provide corroborative evidence for the construction date.
