Full Description
2003: Archaeological Monitoring identified a single large ditch features predating the standing buildings on the Castle Street frontage although the ceramic finds suggest it was infilled shortly before their construction. The ditch appears to continue the line of Castle Street as it runs to the east of the site. It seems possible that the straighter section of the road immediately to the north of the site may be an alteration and that the ditch is part of, or at least following the line of, one fo the original castle defensive ditches. Large single ditch, circa 4m wide by 2+m deep with two sherds Lmed/Early Pmed pottery in fill found monitoring extensions. Suggested as possible former castle ditch. Details in (S1).
