Abstract (en)

Final publication for the site of a medieval building complex excavated in 1957-1958 and 1968-1969. The topography, geology, and historical sources are outlined prior to details of the first excavations which isolated three main phases associated with pre-stone building, stone building, and abandonment of stone buildings activity. Nine stone buildings were located in all, associated with local pottery which provided the main dating evidence. Later excavations investigated an earthwork mound to the north of the original dig. Three further buildings were located, although their functions as possible garderobes or external staircases can only be guessed. Details finds assemblages.
