Wigmore Castle, North Herefordshire: excavations 1996 and 1998

[...]although the author modestly states that the results are what might be expected from any Marches castle excavation, they did confirm the longevity of the stronghold, and hint at the richness that might be expected should Wigmore be the subject of a major research project. Traces of the original earth and timber castle were uncovered, including a timber building that may have been the kitchen, producing a wealth of faunal remains (ninety-three figures illustrate this section). A number of unpublished reports have been used to inform the monograph, one of them being J Cooke's 'Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire: fabric survey', prepared for English Heritage.
