NS 363 345 A short programme of excavation was completed in
February 1993 as one of the final stages of a lengthy programme of
excavation and survey conducted on the site in advance of restoration.
Work was undertaken in the pit prison, within the S range, and the
footings of a rounded tower, possibly dating to the late 13th-century
layout of the castle were found. Three further trenches were excavated
within the late 14th-century tower in advance of first-floor
reinstatement, but revealed only 19th-century levelling.
