Abstract:		 A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of a service trench which lay immediately to the south of the Roman town at Caistor St. Edmund, and lay partly within the area defined as a SAM. The trench crossed the 'triple ditches', a set of possible outer defences to the south and east of the standing town walls, known from air photographs. Although thought to be Roman, the ditches were of unknown date. During the watching brief, four ditches were encountered, a small intermediate ditch not seen on the aerial photographs also being recorded. The upper levels of the ditches were observed and recorded, and produced artefacts suggesting that they had been infilled in the 2nd century AD. Two further features, comprising a pit and a ditch of unknown dates, were also recorded, and a sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered. Observations extended into a churchyard within the south-west corner of the Roman walled area. Finds in the churchyard included three Roman coins and a concentration of possible Roman tile. Several graves were observed. [Au(adp)]
