Monument Number 922137

Hob Uid: 922137
Location :
Staffordshire
East Staffordshire
Tutbury
Grid Ref : SK2102029290
Summary : Outworks, possible barbican, of Tutbury Castle (SK 22 NW 2).
More information : (Centred SK 21022929 & 21062918). Two semi-lunar
platforms with scarped edges, each about 100 yards across, are
situated outside the castle ditch on the east and north-east
fronts; separated from each other by the sunken track which
forms the main approach from the River Dove, and which they were
apparently designed to protect. (1-2)

These two features are as described above. They probably served
as a barbican guarding the main approach to the castle. (3)

The two earthwork platforms described by authorities 1-3 were
drawn as part of the RCHME's National forest Project. (4)
