SHEFFIELD CASTLE EXCAVATION by WESSEX ARCHAEOLOGY_DSC_2156_LR_2.5

            Deep trench [designated trench 5] showing 13C Medieval castle courtyard pavement. Excavation of Sheffield Castle done under contract by Wessex Archaeology. The demolition of the Castle Market buildings has allowed the opportunity to excavate through later 19thC industrial buildings down to the actual medieval castle.

"Trench 5, a better-preserved cobblestone surface was encountered. The base of the surface contained three sherds of 13th-century Hallgate A-type ware (Cumberpatch 2020), plus a few charred cereal grains and seeds of plants associated with both food storage and processing, as well as scrubby vegetation (Simmons and Jones 2020). A 13th-century copper-alloy toiletry item (an ear scoop and fingernail cleaner) was found between the stones while charred plant remains from the matrix between them produced a radiocarbon date of cal ad 1170–1260 at the 95% confidence rate (Tuck and Rajic 2019, 85, 96, 194). Although patchy in places and with indication of repairs, all our evidence points to this being a 13th-century courtyard associated with the early castle. Further 
traces of this courtyard may have been encountered during ARCUS excavations nearby, but the remains in 
Trenches 1 and 5 are the most extensive yet exposed, and the only ones to be firmly dated" - Taken from Proff John Moreland's book " Sheffield castle 1927-2018 Pub 2020 by White Rose University press.
