[461] "In operatione frame turris de Glouec, 20_l._" _Pipe Rolls_, i., 27. In the single _Pipe Roll_ of Henry I. there is an entry "In operationibus turris de Glouec," 7_l._ 6_s._ 2_d._, which _may_ be one of a series of sums spent on the new stone keep. [462] _Pipe Rolls_, 1177, 1180, 1181, 1184. [463] _Close Rolls_, ii., 88b. [464] "In reparatione murorum et bretaschiarum," 20_l_. 7_s._ 11_d._ _Pipe Rolls_, 1193. [465] "Jussit ut foderetur castellum ad Hestengaceastra." [466] D. B., i., 18a, 2. "Rex Willelmus dedit comiti [of Eu] castellariam de Hastinges." [467] "Dux ibidem [at Pevensey] non diu moratus, haud longe situm, qui Hastinges vocatur, cum suis adiit portum, ibique opportunum nactus locum, ligneum agiliter castellum statuens, provide munivit." _Chron. Monast. de Bello_, p. 3, ed. 1846. There is also the evidence of Ordericus, who says that Humphrey de Tilleul received the custody of Hastings Castle "from the first day it was built." iv., 4. [468] Par conseil firent esgarder Boen lieu a fort chastel fermer. Donc ont des nes mairrien iete, A la terre l'ont traine, Que le quens d'Ou i out porte Trestot percie e tot dole. Les cheuilles totes dolees Orent en granz bariz portees. Ainz que il fust avespre En ont un chastelet ferme; Environ firent une fosse, Si i ont fait grant fermete.--Andresen's edition, p. 289. [469] The north curtain is of ruder work than the other masonry. [470] In attractu petre et calcis ad faciendam turrim de Hasting 6_l._ Idem 13_l._ 12_s._ Vol. xviii., p. 130. The work must have been extensive, as it is spoken of as "operatio castelli novi Hasting." 1181-1182. Though the sum given is not sufficient for a great stone keep, it may have been supplemented from other sources. [471] See Mr Sands' paper on Hasting's Castle, in _Trans. of the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies_, 1908. [472] This bailey has been supposed to be a British or Roman earthwork, but no evidence has been brought forward to prove it, except the fact that discoveries made in one of the banks point to a flint workshop on the site. [473] Totum manerium valebat T. R. E. 20 libras, et postea wastum fuit. Modo 18 libras 10 solidos. D. B., i., 18a, 2. Since the above was written, Mr Chas. Dawson's large and important work on Hastings Castle has appeared, and to this the reader is referred for many important particulars, especially the passages from the _Pipe Rolls_, i., 56, and the repeated destructions by the sea, ii., 498-9. The reproduction of Herbert's plan of 1824 (ii., 512) seems to show more than one bailey outside the inner ward. The evidence for a great outer ditch, enclosing all these works, and supposed to be prehistoric, is given on p. 515, vol. ii. [474] See _Anglo-Saxon Chronicle_, 1048 (Peterborough) and 1052 (Worcester), and compare with _Florence of Worcester_. [475] _N. C._, ii., 394.
