The last stand: Wallingford castle and the Civil War. Images and insights from archaeology
chapter
posted on 2016-03-15, 10:36 authored by Neil J. ChristieAlthough the aims of the Wallingford Burh to Borough
Research Project were centred on the early medieval to
late medieval townscape, excavation trenches at the castle
in particular revealed many traces of post-medieval,
Civil War-period activity, notably two likely cannon/
gun emplacement platforms, each signifying extensive
logistical operations. These works have partly masked the
medieval archaeology but are a very important element
of the last phases of use of the castle, with repercussions
for its structural fate. This paper outlines the archaeology
revealed in the project and finds from earlier interventions.
