Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during excavations to expose existing drains in advance of the installation of new drainage measures. The area excavated lay immediately N of the inner (N) face of the 18th-entury rampart and associated stone drainage channel. The remains of a wall were found, likely to represent an earlier version of the southern defences of the castle, predating the 1735 building campaign. Although only revealed in a small trench, it appears to show the upper limits of a wall on a different alignment from the 18th-century layout. The masonry, in turn, lies beyond the assumed limits of the 17th-century plan, and as such is most likely part of the medieval defences associated with other known residual elements such as the medieval gatehouse. |
