Abstract:		 A series of archaeological investigations and interventions were carried out on the Scheduled Monument at Oakham Castle, Oakham, Rutland (NGR: SK 86200 08950). Rutland County Council made a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to undertake extensive restoration work throughout the castle, with improvements to visitor facilities, access and interpretation. This would include the restoration of the medieval Great Hall, the construction of a new toilet block, restoration of parts of the curtain walls, new interpretation boards, a new metal fence, new drainage and other groundworks and improved access to the Great Hall, Motte and adjacent car park.. The work was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 2015-2017. Several previous archaeological investigations have taken place within and around the castle grounds, including work in the 1950s that located the remains of ancillary buildings to the east of the Great Hall, and in 2011, a Time Team/ Wessex Archaeology trial trench evaluation, which located the walls of a building to the west of the Hall, most likely a postulated chamber block. The archaeological work included monitoring of groundworks during the aforementioned enhancements, a trial trench investigation of the area to the west of the Hall where the path was to be widened, excavations within the footprint of a new toilet block and an extension to the Time Team trial trench to the west of the Hall.
