Abstract:		 Trial-trenching was carried out prior to a planning application for coastal protection works on a stretch of unstable cliff. The area was within a strip of land including the site of the demolished World War I gun emplacement known as Brackenbury Battery. This revealed archaeological deposits dating to the Early Bronze Age, Roman and Early Saxon periods. The majority of features identified were ditches although structural evidence from the Roman Period in the form of post holes and large quantities of tile, was recovered indicating the presence of substantial buildings and associated occupation in the area at this time. The Roman pottery dates from the 2nd to the 4th centuries and includes fine wares, possibly showing a relatively high status site. The evaluation showed that the state of preservation was good with the damage caused by the construction and subsequent demolition of Brackenbury Battery not being as extensive as predicted.
