NS 0155 3786 A watching brief was undertaken during
upgrading work to a lightning protection system on 22 March
2010. Ten relatively minor trenches were excavated around
the castle and a further two small trenches were excavated to
the W (trench 11) and NW (trench 12). No archaeologically
important features or finds were recorded in trenches 1–10
or 12. Two redeposited sherds of late medieval pottery
were recovered from 19th-century landscaping deposits in
trench 11.
