Description
Excavation inside the tower on the precinct wall showed a depression near the north angle. This indicated a pre-existing ditch and showed that the wall had originally been continuous to this point and that the tower had been added later. Pottery from the ditch dated to 11th-13th century. There were no deep foundations to the tower. Two earlier phases of building, differentiated by varying thickness of the tower wall were encountered. These earlier building phases may date to 1266 and 1318.
