Ingleston Motte 2009 Update
Ingleston Motte 2009 update Excavation has continued on the south-western area of the Motte. This is showing further evidence of the position of the floor area of the main tower. Current excavation is being carried out to ascertain the perimeter of the south-west defences. Problems have arisen as a result of soil erosion in this area. On the north-east edge, the lowest level of previously excavated areas is now showing evidence of the base of the first tower, and the possibility of a fallen major structural beam is now being examined, this being in the form of charcoal. Finds at this early stage of the season has included further medieval nails, rivet heads and assorted pottery. Robert McCubbinSite Director, Ingleston.
