NT 2512 7349 An integrated programme of test trenching,
standing building recording and survey over exposed areas of
bedrock was completed at intervals between 5 June and 25 November 2013.
The earliest features recorded were traces of eroded rock-cut features comprising slots and crudely-squared cuts thought to predate mid-16th century masonry. The masonry and other remnants of defensive features were thought to range from the mid-16th century to the late 18th century, over which the first of the works to install water towers were carried out in the mid-19th century, with further work on new water towers in the early 1900s.
