Full description
SOU 999 (evaluation excavation in 1999):
[1]: The western edge of the inner fosse and associated bank, as shown on Englefield’s 1805 map, were located.
[3]: Not checked.
SOU 1081 (watching brief in 2000/2002):
[2]: The southern part of the eastern wall parallel to the Inner Fosse, was observed in a shallow cable trench in the pavement on the south side of Quayside Road, outside the site. Two deposits may have represented the berm to the east (context 15) and rampart to the west (context 16) respectively, but due to the shallowness of the trenches it was not possible to confirm this with certainty.
