There are extensive, well-hidden passages in the chalk beneath and south of Guildford Castle. They represent quarries from which chalk was extracted for use in building (including the castle itself) and other activities. A large cave measuring 45 feet by 20 feet and 9 feet high leads into the various passages, some of which run as far as 120 feet in various directions. A perpendicular shaft sunk into them at one point seems, judging by the discolouration of the chalk, to have been a cess pit, perhaps associated with the gaol above. It has also been suggested that the caverns were used as stores for the Gascon wines which Henry III is known to have kept at Guildford.
