ANCIENT EARTHWORKS taking a south-westerly course paat the west end of the church built within the protection of the court ; this has a scarp of 24 ft. and a counterscarp of 8 ft. The whole of the southern side of the bailey has been destroyed, though possibly the site is marked by the cottages built here in a similar manner to the southern half of the eastern side, where cottage gardens occupy the ancient fosse, which, however, still retains a scarp of 1 2 ft. This side of the bailey fosse turns into that of the mount at the eastern angle ; but it has also been extended in a northerly direction, inclosing another elongated k ••>«/, LiDGATE CaSTLB oblong area, apparently of a later period. Outside the western side and northern angle of the fosse is a broad revetment 10 ft. high, which expands into two curved platforms 6 ft. in height. On the eastern side of these works a portion of another fosse appears to indicate the inclosure of another court ; but this may belong to a later age, for these entrenchments point to a stronghold of the mount and bailey type, which were afterwards altered to manorial requirements.
