Five trenches were in place with one of them producing building remains.
Two Medieval coins had been recovered, one on this dig with the other coming up during last year's dig.
We checked out several areas at random (time was short) with no evidence of Medieval nor English Civil War items.
Normally, detectorists are overwhelmed with musket balls, but not one came up on this day. Strange that the castle was attacked by 500 Parliamentary troops, then used as a campsite for Charles Ist.
The coinage that did come up was all decimal showing that the grounds had been used by the public from 1971.
Hopefully, we'll return to survey an area away from the archaeologists current centre of focus and find the clues that are missing.
