Summary: | Excavations in advance of building alterations in the keep of Marisco Castle. No medieval features or features of the 17th century rebuild were discovered inside the keep. Interior stripped to bedrock when 19th century cottages were inserted. Limited excavations in bailey established pre-18th century ground level and indicated that the "old house", shown on engravings, was constructed in 17th century, and demolished late in the 18th century. Detailed recording and planning of surviving earthworks and masonry was also undertaken. |
