Description
{1} Three week programme of excavation on a raised platform within the eastern side of the Alderton Mount. The excavation demonstrated that the platform was constructed in the first half of the 12th century and that a stone building, which stood in the southern part of the platform, went out of use in the 14th century. At the south west side of the excavation a deep robber trench suggesting the former presence of a defensive wall of building was found.
