A team from the Center for Applied Archaeology at the University of Salford have concluded that the castle, begun by the Earl of Chester during the Anarchy, was never completed. King Stephen had granted the Scottish king lands for which the Earl had a competing title; the castle seems to have been intended to guard the border and protect the Earl's claim.
