Abstract: |
As part of the Heritage Lottery funded 'Nottingham Castle Redevelopment Project', Nottingham City Council was required to carry out archaeological mitigation works in advance of proposed installation of interpretation signs at Nottingham Castle. The work was carried out between the 14th of September and the 23rd of October 2020, and comprised the excavation of nineteen foundations for interpretation boards spread throughout the castle. A single medieval deposit was likely identified in the Middle Bailey with post-medieval, starting from the 17th century, and modern land/hardscaping deposits comprising the majority of deposits also identified during this excavation. A 17th century culvert was recorded and preserved in situ as well as a repair cut for Mortimer's Hole in the Upper Bailey and the cut of a post-medieval robber trench was located east of the Middle Bailey along the projected alignment of the curtain wall. |
