Results of two seasons of excavation on the motte which revealed information relating to the construction of the motte, a timber hall on the summit encircled by two phases of palisade, the surrounding ditch, and an approach causeway. Geomorphological investigation coupled with aerial photography has enabled the reconstruction of the thirteenth-century landscape around the motte.
