NT 2517 7352 An evaluation was undertaken in April and May 2005 to assess proposed works for the installation of a new distribution/collection point for the audio tours inside (to the NW of) the Portcullis Gate (NT27SE 1.04). The trench was located 4.25m NW of the steps up to the sentry walk and the bedrock immediately NE of the gate, and reached a maximum depth of 1.2m. Structural remains and finds from a wide range of periods were revealed, and the area appears to have suffered little modern disturbance compared with other areas of the castle.
