Abstract:
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken of the re-excavation of the Left Battery at Landguard Fort. The battery, which had been buried during the 1980s, was to be exposed and an archaeological presence was maintained in order to recover any significant artefacts revealed during this process. A large assortment of artefacts were recovered, the majority of which probably dated from the 1950s onwards. Some finds obviously associated with the military phase of the battery were recovered, although their significance needs to be assessed by experts in 19th and 20th century military archaeology. One of the more unusual finds was a quern stone of a probable Roman date, presumably collected and later discarded by personnel stationed at the fort. [Au(abr)]
