The local SW TV news featured a story about this summer's archaeological dig today. I see Daily Mail had the results, up to then, back in July:

"Early Cornish kings feasted on oysters, roast pork and wine out of bowls imported from Turkey and glass goblets from Spain, excavations at Tintagel Castle have shown.
The evidence of fine dining and luxury in the late 5th and early 6th century was unearthed as part of the first research excavations to take place in decades at the legendary coastal castle, by the Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) in 2016.
While Tintagel is intricately bound up in the legend of King Arthur, who was said to have been conceived there, experts said the finds showed it was almost certainly a royal site with trading links to the Mediterranean during “Cornwall’s First Golden Age”.
"Results of the dig, which have now been published by (CAU) and English Heritage, show finds include oyster shells, livestock bones with signs of burning and butchering and a cod cranial bone which provides the first evidence of deep sea fishing at Tintagel.
The dig, which only covered a small area, also turned up a Phocaean red slipped ware bowl from Turkey, amphorae or jars from southern Turkey or Cyprus, and fine glassware from Spain, as well as iron brooches and dress hooks, knives and nails.
The excavations uncovered a selection of stone-walled structures on the southern terrace of Tintagel Castle’s island area, with substantial stone walls and slate floors reached by a flight of slate steps."
"Following on from the successful dig, the archaeologists have returned to examine a much wider area, with the public able to see them in action.
English Heritage properties curator Win Scutt, said the finds drew a “highly evocative picture” of life at the site in the post-Roman period.
“These finds reveal a fascinating insight into the lives of those at Tintagel Castle more than 1,000 years ago."
