NS 36360 34517 The flat areas beyond the Barmkin wall, covering an area of c0.25ha, were targeted with GPR. The surveys identified numerous coherent anomalies, although many of these are thought to be due to near surface geology, past excavation and landscaping. However, immediately to the N of the castle a cluster of well-defined anomalies were detected in both surveys, suggesting the presence of possible structural remains in this area, including a possible extension of the Barmkin wall. Within the GPR data, deeper anomalies were detected, suggesting possible footings of an earlier tower to the SW of the castle and a possible earlier alignment of the Barmkin wall in the E.
