Description
Excavations on supposed site of chapel on E. side of Castle and moat:
E A Rawlence partly conducted an unpublished excavation on a mound marked as the site of a supposed chapel on the east side of Sherborne Castle and moat during 1932.
C.E. Bean visited the excavation and recalls that it revealed a small building of relatively late date, probably erected during the lifetime of the 1st Earl of Bristol.
