Description

A wall was discovered in a void above a collapsed drainage culvert in the southeast curtain earthwork. Attempts wee made to record this but due to access problems it only possible to take a small number of photographs and mental notes. The wall rests on timbers and appears to be 17th century in date. Probably related to the 1680 fort construction but unlikely to be the main southeast curtain wall. Information from OASIS Online Form.
