Scarborough Castle, North Yorkshire: Survey Report
Author(s): T Pearson
In October and November 1998 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of Scarborough Castle in North Yorkshire. The survey has demonstrated that the majority of earthworks visible in the interior of the castle are from the 18th to 20th centuries with most dating from the latter part of this period. The remains of buildings and other structures are concentrated around the edge of the headland. The survey has shown that the use of the castle for various military purposes in the recent past dominates the earthwork record in the outer bailey, beginning with two platforms, one at the south end of the headland, the other at the north, marking the positions of documented 18th-century gun batteries.
