Description
During archaeological excavations at a C17 bastion at the Castle Keep three charge holders from a bandoleer (shoulder-belt with loops or pockets for cartridges) were found in the fill of the bastion ditch. A musketeer carried a belt with usually 12 charge holders or cartridges suspended from it. It was made of leather and wood with pewter caps. Lead musket balls and a pistol bullet were also recovered. A more complete example of a cap, with two side loops for strings attaching it to the body of the cartridge was found elsewhere at the castle (Nolan 1990, fig. 14, no. 46).

During archaeological excavations at a C17 bastion (HER 11510) at the Castle Keep three charge holders from a bandoleer (shoulder-belt with loops or pockets for cartridges) were found in the fill of the bastion ditch. The remains included fragments of the cartridge belt and part of the leather bullet bag. The cartridge cases were made of turned wood and were covered in leather and had pewter caps. The caps had side loops to attach them to the case by a string. A musketeer carried a belt with usually 12 charge holders or cartridges suspended from it. Lead musket balls and a pistol bullet were also recovered.

Description
T.M. Richardson cites an order of 1647 for the repair of the town wall, "especially a breach near a place called the Pink Tower, in length 55 yards, about 3 yards thick and six yards and a half high". One of his drawings apparently shows a pristine chamfered course of such length south-east of the tower that it is more likely that the site of the breach was in this stretch to the north- west, which was therefore a rebuild.
