Well its week 3 already and things are moving on very quickly; aided in no
small part by the unexpected fine weather of the last week
We're making good progress excavating and recording in the castle
cuttings and think that we have identified the north-west corner of
the castle!
Probable north-west corner of castle |
We think that we may have identified the bawn wall to the
south of the castle. The location of this matches almost perfectly the
measurements detailed in the 1622 survey so the question remains
as to the full western extent of the bawn?
We also started digging in earnest inside the castle
and through the entrance. We hope to uncover the nature of the
entrance threshold and what the approach/path to the door would have looked like
whilst investigating the internal ground floor area – also hoping for lots of cool
finds too ;-)
Cutting inside the castle |
Looks great!
