Summary (English)
Excavations begun in 2004 and continued in 2005, revealed the remains of an immense square tower, with an internal usable floor space of circa 50m 2 . Unmentioned in historical sources and completely ignored by archaeological literature, its outer structures have been completely uncovered and stand to a height of over three metres. An enormous collapse, containing no finds, sealed a stratigraphic deposit of great interest. The latest occupation level, characterised by a burnt layer rich in squared timbers (a roof) has been dated using C14 to the 11th century. Within this occupation level, which overlay an earlier abandonment of the tower and levels collapsed plastered walls, a metal working area had been set up for the reduction of ferrous minerals.
