Abstract: |
A ledge running along the top of the cliff adjoining the west side of the west tower is accessed from the ditch to its north by a series of crude rock cut steps, and is further defined by a low wall on its west side and a more substantial one along its southern end. The aim of the work was to investigate the archaeological deposits on this ledge, and assess the possibility of inserting a barrier along the cliff edge. There was little in the way of significant archaeological features, with most of the area covered in only very shallow deposits. But footings were seen that projected up to 0.45m east of the main line of the west wall. Surface traces indicate that these broad footings continue to the north out of the excavated area, while no further part of this feature was visible to the south. |
