Summary
A stone-lined garderobe was found at the south-east corner of Castle Hall during archaeological excavations between 1973 and 1983 (SOU 123 Area A and SOU 116). The garderobe was in the angle between the east wall of Castle Hall and the south bailey wall of Southampton Castle. Castle Hall, the garderobe and the south bailey wall represent a single period of construction in the late 11th or, more probably, the early-to-mid 12th century.
