Geophysical survey ahead of community archaeology project at the site of Middleham Castle, Bishop Middleham, County Durham,. Fieldwork was undertaken between the 5th to 25th of August 2019, following on from desk-based research, earlier geophysical and topographical surveys (Francis 1998, 1999) and a new geophysical magnetic survey (Phase Site Investigations 2019). Documentary evidence suggests an elite status for Middleham Castle with phases of structural development and alterations by successive Bishops. Remote sensing has provided a detailed account of the extent, layout and complexity of the site, but its development, nature and chronology remain elusive. Therefore, a programme of excavation was designed to investigate the castle layout (Forster and Brightman 2019). Significant structural remains were uncovered in the excavations suggestive of high-status buildings within both trenches indicative of the elite status of the Middleham Castle as a whole. The fieldwork recovered details of the form, character, chronology and function of structures retrieving an assemblage of artefacts and ecofacts providing insight into the decoration of the buildings, the daily life and material culture of the inhabitants. This will aid in the exploration of the relationship of the remains to nearby sites, including similar episcopal sites and how these settlements played a role in the wider environs. All data was recorded by project archaeologists using a web accessible relational database. This is housed on the project microsite, which can be explored by following the links shown in green font throughout the report.
