Full Description
2012: Archaeological monitoring of works associated with the rebuilding and consolidation of the extant precinct wall. The observations suggested the standing west gateways and a c.48m length of the east wall are medieval survivals with the regular internal face constructed from locally derived crag limestone block and an external face dominated by septaria. Another section of the east wall located to the north is considered to have been constructed in the early 20th centy, with the remianing phaded considered to be 18th or 19th century in date (S1).
