Framlingham Castle, Framlingham, Suffolk. Survey Report
Author(s): Moraig Brown
In January and February 2002, English Heritage carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of Framlingham Castle in Suffolk. At the core of Framlingham Castle is a large stone curtain wall surmounting a large earthen platform surrounded by a wide, deep, dry ditch. Attached to the eastern side of the castle platform is a large kidney-shaped bailey with its own dry ditch, and attached to the western side is a smaller bailey known as the Lower Court. A small outwork is located in the junction between the bailey and the Lower Court, separated from both by deep ditches. An earthwork referred to as the Town Ditch runs alongside the northern and eastern side of the bailey, divided from it by a narrow field called the Back Meadow.
