NJ 5317 4076 A watching brief was undertaken, 2–3 June 2014, during the excavation of two small trenches to allow the installation of a new handrail near the exterior of the W wall of the W range, in an area thought to have been occupied by a 12th-century bailey. It was thought that some of the features seen were associated with the bailey and these were left

undisturbed. Evidence was also seen of an infilled/levelled ditch, along with features associated with the foundations of the wall of the W range, thought to have been constructed in the 15th or 16th century. There were signs of modern disturbance in some areas.
