“Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart tart threw a sword at you. Look, if I were to go around saying I was king just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!”

Soil brought in on dirty shoes?
If a site is abandoned, earthworms may be responsible for burying it.
To: Western Phil
The Grass and other vegetation builds up the soil level in open areas, particularly farmland.
In built up areas it is mostly human activity ,Trash , Dung, muddy shoes :) ,and even river silting, that causes it to rise.
It has to be remembered that the vast majority of the sites that we now consider as historically important and so maintain ,where for many centuries at the mercy of “Quarrying” and Vegetational Soil deposition.
The rate of burial is not constant through out the land, it is dependant on Soil type and local environmental factors, and hence the growth characteristics of the local Vegetation.
For example the concrete building footings of the facilities used by Barns Wallace in the New Forest to develop the Tall-Boy and Grand Slam bombs have almost vanished from view in the Moss and grass that has covered the site. The Door steps are already under an inch of soil. That’s just in 70 years.

Or they were looking in the wrong place. From the photos this excavation may be on the Barras Head mainland, not the Castle headland/island.
In any case, 6th century settlement is strong indication that Sidney Toy's belief that the official guidebook is a load of cobblers and the "Medieval" castle is actually a modified Dark Age fortification is close to the truth.
