Pontefract Castle Gatehouse Project (End of dig)

3D Model

Along with hundreds of people from Pontefract and the surrounding area, our team of archaeologists has unearthed the drawbridge pit and gatehouse at Pontefract Castle - one of England’s biggest castles.

This model shows what the excavated area looked like at the end of the five week excavation, including the castle’s medieval drawbridge pit, and the base of an apparently circular drum tower.
