Exciting news at the Castle mound in the old cattle market by the Swan - trial trenches are being opened up this week to search for evidence of the original Norman castle. This is the castle that came before Matilda de Braose built the present Hay Castle.
Black Mountains Archaeology Ltd. have been hired by Powys County Council to do the dig, and it's professionals only - not like the Cusop Castle dig in June, which welcomes volunteers as a community dig.
I'm hoping to get there towards the end of the week to see what they've uncovered.
