NS 728 542 A short period of archaeological monitoring was undertaken in October and November 2003 as part of an on going consolidation programme on the castle masonry.The first phase monitored the removal of turf and topsoil from a small section of wall head at the far NW corner of the Middle Ward. This limited clearance work helped to expose the tops of the outer face masonry of the N and W walls, as well as better define the broken window set in the N wall. Recording was also undertaken of the outer faces of the N and W walls. It appears that the two walls were constructed in a single phase.
