ISBN10: 0903903121, ISBN13: 9780903903127, [publisher: Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, Edinburgh] Softcover First Edition 1997. xvi, 251pp. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland Monograph Series Number 12. Colour and b&w illustrations. "This volume is a record of the archaeological discoveries made by Peter Yeoman and Stephen Driscoll and their team between 1989 and 1991 during the course of that work [construction of a vehicle tunnel into the castle]. Before excavation began, none of us had much idea what might be encountered beneath the grey granite setts, excepting perhaps for certain 17th-century structures known from the surviving plans. What the team discovered exceeded all our expectations. Not only did they put flesh on the bones of the 17th-century castle, but they also cast considerable light on the nature of the medieval fortress, and quite incredibly unearthed significant remains from the Iron Age stronghold. By the time they had finished, they had succeeded in pushing the story of the inhabitants of the Castle Rock back to the Late Bronze Age." Includes numerous in-text pictures, folding map to rear and two microfiche in pocket to rear. Soft cover in very good condition with light wear to corners and rubbing to top of spine. PLEASE NOTE: Heavy book so extra postage may be needed for non-UK customers.
