Description

Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out in Upper Castle Park, to the south of the Castle, during shallow groundworks for the relocation of two park benches and the construction of a new access path from Castle Bailey into Castle Park (through an existing gate), i.e. during the reinstatement of a former entrance.<1> No archaeological horizons were identified as groundworks did not penetrate below modern topsoil (200mm deep max).
