A test pit and trial trench investigation of the kitchen range area was conducted in July 2004, to inform repair works to the moat structures in this part of Tattershall Castle. The investigations exposed and recorded more of the 15th century kitchen range walls, and revealed that the adjacent moat retaining walls had been extensively rebuilt as part of the early 20th century restoration of the castle. {2}{3}
