Abstract

This report will detail the results of the investigations undertaken to date within the Inner Ward of Bamburgh Castle, by the Bamburgh Research Project between 1997 and 2008, using resistivity and ground penetrating radar survey and limited excavation.Throughout the course of the investigation around the ruins of the medieval chapel, material evidence was found of Romano-British activity. Furthermore, stone structures of pre-twelfth-century date were revealed. Two phases of a possible early medieval defensive wall were identified beneath the north wall of the current chapel structure, and a stone building was found beneath the main body of the church which may represent part of the church of St Peter, mentioned by Bede.
