Default Condensation issue

My house is solid walled house about 100 years old. The back of the
house floor below the window is about 2ft below ground and this wall
on and off suffers from condensation, its has a bitumous barrier
behind the plaster. I wondered about sealing some tri iso super 10
behind plaster board, or plaster backed celotex and attaching (screw
of nail?) to the walls, is this a good idea or do I need an air gap as
well, what would people recommend?
Thanks

If fixing direct to the wall, then screws and plugs. If using battens,
then dry lining screws.


I wouldn't attempt to drill the walls at all.
The concrete is not very strong or thick on most of them.

I would make some angles out of builders band and fix it to battens and then
to the bolts holding the panels together.
it will give space to put some fibre bats behind for insulation.
