Between January and March 2003 English Heritage staff from the Swindon office carried out an analytical survey of the archaeological earthwork remains at Longtown including the castle and medieval borough following a request from Dr Paul Stamper, Inspector of Ancient Monuments for the West Midlands Region. The survey was undertaken due to the rapid development of the village in recent years threatening the remains of the borough and the castle's setting and also to improve understanding of the castle' s baileys and the layout of the medieval borough, its extent and the nature of its defences.
