| Abstract: |
Three strands of research were requested by the English Heritage Trust to inform the production of a new guidebook for Pevensey Castle: interpretation of the enigmatic keep; archaeological survey of earthworks in the outer ward; and aerial survey of the immediate environs of the castle with particular reference to activity during the Second World War. The resulting research project suggested a possible origin for the keep and explanation of its unique architectural form. It also resulted in a detailed record of earthworks in the outer ward and put forward the tentative suggestion that there may have been a barbican in front of the gatehouse of the inner ward. All available aerial photographs were studied, leading to a comprehensive picture of activity at the castle in the 1930s and military activity during the Second World War. |
