Summary/Abstract: The planned archaeological research of the Castle of Újhely continued for six weeks in 2016. In this season we reopened two trenches to expand our knowledge about the buildings we have found last year. The main results were that we finished the excavation of the northern tower, which turned out to be triangular shape; as well as we cleared the original floor surface of the western building, which had two rooms. The third trench’s purpose was to examine the northern courtyard’s stratigraphy, and to get dating evidence.
