2. Buckton Castle Mysteries by Archaeotea published on 2020-12-10T11:45:58Z In the second episode Mike Nevell explores the long-running investigations at Buckton Castle, Tameside, a hilltop fortress of the 12th and 13th centuries overlooking the River Tame c. 10km eats of Manchester. It was surveyed and excavated between 1996 and 2010 by archaeologists from the Universities of Manchester and Salford. What they found was the remains of an unfinished stone castle, almost certainly built for the Earls of Chester.
