[TR 3141] . Rescue work on the line of a relief road in the town revealed the long-sought position of the Saxon Shore fort. Its S wall has now been traced for 120 m of its length, and the W wall has been located by its robber trench, beyond which is a large V-ditch of late Roman date. The SW corner of the fort and two bastions were also examined. The fort is not rectangular, which may account for the difficulties previously experienced in finding it. Typologically the fort may be tentatively put in second half of 3rd century. Earlier (2nd century) military activity is indicated by masonry buildings, roads and a modest defensive wall and ditch belonging to the Classis Britannica on the evidence of many stamped tiles. The difference in character between this early naval base and the strongly defended late fort which cut through it is notable. A bronze hand holding a ball and eagle may have come from a ceremonial staff. Work continues on Roman, Neolithic, Saxon and medieval levels. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
