This castle was of the motte and bailey type and stands on a sandstone bluff overlooking a bend in the Avon where the river has cut away the rock to form a cliff. Except on this side the walls which surround the bailey are protected by a moat. The area enclosed by the walls is about 128m from NE to SW and about 82m wide. The motte, on which a part of the keep stands, forms the SW end of the enclosure, but the most formidable defences, built in the 14th century, are at the NE end. Here a central gatehouse tower with a barbican outside is connected by high curtain walls to two great angle towers. To the N are remains of 15th century fortifications. The SE side of the former bailey is occupied by the domestic buildings, which are 14th century and later in date. The castle would originally have had a wooden palisade on the bailey and motte. Timber was replaced by stone, presumably from the 12th century onwards. The modern walls on the motte incorporate probable 13th century masonry. The domestic buildings were placed on the securest side of the bailey and included a church (PRN 1951). Various alterations and additions were carried out from the 14th century until modern times. \par\b 4 \b0 bailey obliterated by later remodelling, but present courtyard presumed to correspond to original shape. \par\b 7 \b0 Two reconstructions of the area around Caesar's tower c.1700 and c.1550. \par\b 8 \b0 Four small trenches were excavated on the north-east side of the mound to assess the archaeological impact of proposals to remodel and extend the existing pathway. A small quantity of 13th century material was found but the excavator decided that the proposed work would not damage archaeology. \par\b 11 \b0 An evaluation on top of the mound identified features contemporary with the earliest phase of the castle. features included part of the plinth of the keep west wall. The construction trench for this wall contained 13th century pottery. Possible floor surfaces were identified. During the Civil War the an earth gun battery was constructed on the mound. A slot cut into the back of the exposed keep footing may have been associated with this construction and a copper alloy Civil War period farthing was recovered. \par\b 17 \b0 Small scale excavation and recording were carried out on behalf of Warwick castle Ltd in advance of building work for a new exhibition in the undercroft of the domestic range. \par\b 18 \b0 A series of trenches for floodlighting, computer cabling and replacement water mains were observed on behalf of Warwick castle Ltd. \par\b 20 \b0 In 1995 an evaluation took place in advance of path construction immediately below and north of Caesar's tower. Four trenches were excavated. These revealed mostly 18th and 19th century features associated with the landscaping of the area, but also uncovered a foundation of Caesar's tower itself and provided evidence to suggest that the Medieval ditch was considerably wider and deeper than the existing one. \par\b 21 \b0 Site of Civil War siege, as discussed in 'Edgehill and Beyond: The People's War in the South Midlands 1642-45' by Philip Tennant (1992). Approximately 2 weeks long, musket ball holes in face of Guy's tower (B. Gethin pers. Comm.) \par\b 26 \b0 Warwick castle was probably one of the first castles to be built in the county, and it was erected with a late Anglo-Saxon burh soon after the Conquest and located so as to dominate a river crossing. It was first built in 1068 as a motte and bailey castle on the north side of the River Avon on the edge of the burh. No early timber buildings have survived and whilst some of the stonework, including the base of the curtain wall, may date from the 12th century, more is of a 14th century date, when the castle was rebuilt and refortified. By this time the castle was owned by the Beauchamp family who transformed it into a palace by Fulke Greville in 1604, with new interiors and gardens. \b0\cell\pard\intbl\row

Archaeologists may excavate a site in a number of ways; either by open area excavation, by digging a test pit or a trial trench.[more] \par\parAn important part of any archaeological excavation is the recording of artefacts and deposits with measurements, plans and photographs. Archaeologists are just as interested in finding information about the context of artefacts as they are in the artefacts themselves. \par\parDuring an excavation, archaeologists will recover many kinds of samples. In addition to recording common artefacts, such as pieces of pottery, archaeologists take environmental samples. This is done so that they can find other materials such as pollen, plant parts, human and animal bone, and shell.\par\cell\pard\intbl\row \trowd\trgaph30\trleft0\trrh0\cellx2000\cellx8300\pard\intbl\ql Modern\cell\pard\intbl\ql The Modern Period, about 1915 AD to the present (the 20th and 21st centuries AD)\par\parIn recent years archaeologists have realised the importance of recording modern sites. They do this so that in the future people will be able to look at the remains to help them understand the events to which they are related.[more]\par\parOne of these events is the Second World War (1939 – 1945). The war began when Britain and France declared war on Germany in 1939. This happened because Adolf Hitler invaded Poland despite earlier promises that he would not. Several months later he invaded France. With the Germans sitting just over the other side of the English Channel, Britain feared that it too would be invaded. To stop this happening, defences were quickly built along the coasts and transport routes. New airfields were also built so that British planes could prevent the Germans bombing the country. \par\parArchaeological sites relating to the war are still visible in Warwickshire. Pillboxes were built to defend the main roads, canals and railways. One example exists at Butler’s Leap, Clifton on Dunsmore. This pillbox was built to defend the Oxford Canal. There is another pillbox along the same canal near Priors Hardwick.\par\parA number of new airfields were built in Warwickshire during the Second World War. Some of these were used for training aircrew. One such airfield was located at Church Lawford. At some of the airfield sites the runways are still visible, as are some of the buildings associated with the airfield such as pillboxes, air raid shelters and battle headquarters.\par\parThe end of the war came with the devastating explosion of the first nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. In the 1950s the more powerful countries in the world started to make their own nuclear bombs. This led to a period of mistrust and rivalry between Western countries (America and Britain) and powers such as the Soviet Union. This period is known as the Cold War and was a time when the threat of nuclear attack on Britain became an alarming possibility. \par\parIn order to monitor the possibility of attacks and their aftermath if they actually happened, a network of underground monitoring posts were built. Some of them were built in Warwickshire, one example being at Church Lawford. \par\par\cell\pard\intbl\row \trowd\trgaph30\trleft0\trrh0\cellx2000\cellx8300\pard\intbl\ql Medieval\cell\pard\intbl\ql 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)\par\parThe medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.\par\parThe Medieval period begins in 1066 AD. \parThis was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex. \parThe Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too. \par \parThe end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.[more]\par\parThe Normans are well known for building the first motte and bailey castles. There are a number of these in Warwickshire. Brinklow Castle and Boteler’s Castle, near Alcester, are fine examples. Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle began their long histories as motte and bailey castles.\par\parSettlement\parThe Domesday Book was written in the reign of William the Conqueror. It was completed in about 1086 AD. \parIt is a detailed statement of lands held by the king and his tenants and of the resources that went with those lands, for example which manors belonged to which estates. \parDomesday Book was probably put together so that William knew how much tax he was getting from the country. It provides archaeologists and historians with a detailed picture of the size of settlements and the population at the beginning of the medieval period. Many of these settlements were later deserted as a result of a number of causes, including changes to land tenure. In other cases the focal point of settlements physically shifted. Either way, Warwickshire is well known for the contrast in types of settlement between the Arden area of the north west and the Feldon area of the south and east. In the Arden area medieval settlements were of the small, dispersed type, whilst in the Feldon area the settlements developed into nucleated villages. Some medieval deserted settlements in Warwickshire can still be traced as earthworks. A good example exists at Wormleighton. \par\parTraces of medieval farming survive in many parts of Warwickshire as earthworks of ridge and furrow cultivation. Ridge and furrow earthworks show where the land was ploughed so that crops could be grown. The ridges and furrows formed because successive years of ploughing caused the soil to be drawn up into ridges whilst the furrows lying between them became deeper. The fields were ploughed using a team of oxen pulling a small plough, which was very difficult to turn. This accounts for why the land was ploughed in long strips and why fields were left open i.e. without hedges, fences or walls dividing up the land into smaller pockets.\par\parFarms were much smaller in the medieval period. The people who farmed the land did not own it. The land belonged to the lord of the manor. The people farming the land were simply tenants who worked a strip of land or maybe several strips. This is why medieval farming is sometimes called strip farming. \par\parTowns\parAt the time that Domesday Book was written the only town in what is now called Warwickshire was Warwick. Documentary evidence shows us that as the years went on more and more markets appeared in the county. By 1450 there were forty. \par\parThe towns that grew around the markets were different from the surrounding villages in their appearance and the type of people who lived in them. They were larger than the villages and had a more complicated network of streets and lanes. The towns had an open space in the centre where a market was held each week. The houses and workshops that lined the streets had long narrow strips of land behind them called tenements. Some historic maps show these medieval build\cell\pard\intbl\row \trowd\trgaph30\trleft0\trrh0\cellx2000\cellx8300\pard\intbl\ql modern\cell\pard\intbl\ql About 1915 AD to the present (the 20th and 21st centuries AD)\par\parIn recent years archaeologists have realised the importance of recording modern sites.

Other sites include, for example, the hydroelectric power station at Alscot built in 1912, a BBC radio transmitter site at Brinklow Heath built in 1966, and the modern memorial to the Battle of Edgehill, which was erected in 1949.\par\cell\pard\intbl\row \trowd\trgaph30\trleft0\trrh0\cellx2000\cellx8300\pard\intbl\ql CIVIL\cell\pard\intbl\ql This is the top term for the class.
