New inner/outer wall found

New inner/outer wall found

At the conclusion of the 2023 excavation, particular attention was given to the segment where the wall curved leftward as it extended north toward Welton Road from the interior area of the field. During this phase, archaeologists discovered a new outer wall. This structure appears to be a later addition to the original walls, which is evident from the fact that its foundation sits at a higher elevation than that of the main walls.

The following image is from the 2024 excavation showint the new find (top right) and is accompanied by an artist’s interpretation of how the site may have appeared on our newly produced booklet. Booklets are available to purchase on line at the link below.
