The Fortifications of Hull between 1321 and 1864

This project examined all of the historical and archaeological evidence for the defences on the west bank of the River Hull, surrounding the Old Town. It brought together for the first time the results of at least 10 excavations and watching-briefs that had been carried out between 1964 and the early 1990s at various points around the Town Defences, along with a number of chance exposures of parts of the Town Wall, and integrated these with what is currently known about more recent unpublished archaeological interventions. It also presented a detailed account of the extensive excavations which took place between 1986 and 1989 at the Beverley Gate - one of the most important of the Town Gates.
