SHROPSHIRE, ENGLAND—BBC News reports that remains of a castle thought to date to the mid-thirteenth century have been discovered on the grounds of Soulton Hall, an Elizabethan manor near the market town of Wem, some nine miles north of Shrewsbury. Archaeologists have uncovered a substantial wall, a moat bridge, and wooden blocks, as well as medieval artifacts, including a pilgrim's badge, ceramic fragments, and an ampulla, a type of flask intended to carry holy water.
