Abstract:
This report presents the results of a programme of archaeological, architectural and aerial survey undertaken on the site of Clifford Castle and its environs. This work was intended to inform on-going conservation and research of the site. Clifford Castle is a substantial motte-and-bailey castle, almost certainly constructed by William Fitz Osbern between 1066-1071. The castle received further significant investment at some point in the early to mid-13th century, under either Walter Clifford II or Walter Clifford III. Although the defensive significance of the site would have been reduced after the conquest of Wales in 1295, there is some evidence that it continued in use until at least the early 15th century. The surrounding area includes significant remains associated with the castle, including the Priory. Other sites such as the deer park, borough and chapel are known from a mixture of documentary and place name evidence. Evidence of earlier settlement is also extant, including traces of several Roman forts associated with the important frontier of the River Wye.
