In 1973 in a flurry of excitement a group of amateur archaeologists uncovered some of the stonework of Bury Castle. There were ambitious plans to turn it into a tourist feature and promise of funding to support the scheme. But after a few more exploratory digs during the next four years the site was infilled and returned to function as a back-street car park. Nevertheless hopes were kept alive as the site remained, year after year, unsurfaced and undeveloped, the valuable remains lying beneath awaiting a new dawn. Now that dawn has arisen and once more the stones of the buttresses revealed.
