NJ 79620 00500 A watching brief was undertaken, 11 October – 10 November 2016, on a major new drain around the E, S, W and NW sides of the castle. While much of the ground had previously been disturbed by other service trenches, a set of stone steps of probable 17th-century date were excavated at the SW corner of the castle. They may relate to the formal 17th-century gardens which had lain in the area that is now the S lawn.
