Frequently referenced in medieval research as an example of a Marcher castle and associated failed borough on the Welsh borders, nobody has done any proper analysis of one of the most important medieval sites on the Anglo\/Welsh border. This first detailed archaeological analysis will be carried out by Dr Michael Fradley who has previously undertaken ground breaking surveys of castles at Wallingford (Oxon), Sudeley (Glos), and Newhall (Ches) and Giles Carey. The focus of the project will be on the outer bailey where the medieval borough was situated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Donate to Have Opportunity to Visit the Selected Projects\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Within the next year the Trust will be organising <strong>exclusive visits<\/strong> the selected projects during the initial research stages or at completion of them.
