Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4's "Time Team" to investigate the remains of the Napoleonic Fort which stood on the site. The project was largely unsuccessful in the identification of structures dated to the Napoleonic period within the redoubt. It became clear that the Twiss maps were a combination of "as built" and "as proposed" and therefore many of the structures depicted may never have been constructed. It was clear however that the main redoubt structure comprising earthen ramparts matched the Twiss maps, with slight alterations. There had been considerable activity on the site in later periods, and this had also been a factor on the removal and obscuring of earlier Napoleonic structures. Later periods of activity were identified within the redoubt from the mid 19th century onwards, when the site became the residence of the camp commandant. The remains of a two-storey building (Redoubt House) and associated formal gardens were identified. It was clear that much of the rampart defence on the southern side had been removed to provide a clear vista from the house across the channel. [Au(abr)]
