This is a view of the dig site from the top of the motte. Behind is Chichester Guildhall, the surviving 13th century chancel from the Franciscan friary. Quite possibly it contains masonry robbed from the former castle. (Infra red photograph.)

On Saturday I visited the archaeological excavations of Chichester castle. They have uncovered the foundations of a substantial stone barbican built in the moat. Previously it had been assumed that the castle was built of wood, on substantial earthworks.
