In late 2025, we used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to survey the land next to Castle Hill. This was once part of the castle structure before the Georgians flattened the ground to create parkland. In the 1970s, the ground was further changed when a new carpark was built. The medieval materials are about 2 metres under the surface.
Can you spot any potential shapes that might be buildings or ditches?
The team will analyse the data and use it as part of the wider research investigating the site!
