Abstract

The monitored test pit exposed the foundations of the caponier and the interior castle walls within the moat, allowing for their characteristics and depth to be recorded. No other archaeological features or deposits were identified within the test pit. The excavated material that forms the backfill of the moat dates to within the last century with no evidence of earlier phases of backfilling within the exposed depth of 1.0 m bgl.
