CAWOOD CASTLE GARTH, N. YORKS REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY MARCH 1993
Author(s): Andy Payne
A moated enclosure in the north-eastern part of Cawood Castle Garth, thought to have enclosed a 17th century garden layout, was the subject of a geophysical survey in March 1993. The survey was aimed at assisting the interpretation and management of an historic landscape presumed to represent the outer court of Cawood Castle - the former residence of the Medieval Archbishops of York. In addition to detecting features already visible in the form of earthworks and modern paths, the survey results contain some limited evidence of previously unrecorded buried linear and other features. However, these do not clearly comprise recognisable elements of a formal garden arrangement. Existing pathways across the site do not appear to impinge upon the features detected.
