Gallery Tower, Kenilworth Castle

1 The step in the wall, and the change in construction below it, suggest that the intended occupation surface of the tower was most likely at present turf level or higher. No evidence was found for internal cross-walls, suggesting that the Gallery Tower was either floored and roofed with single large spans ot that it might have actually been an open courtyard space with an earthen or paved floor. The absence of clay pipes argues an early date.
