Abstract:

A watching brief was held over works at a caravan park just outside Reculver Roman fort, one of the forts of the Saxon Shore. The area observed for the watching brief constituted the largest area to be exposed on the south and east sides of the fort in recent times. Numerous features were discovered, from postholes, pits and ditches to a metalled road, all probably being of Roman date, although several phases were represented. The precise limits and function of the road were not ascertained but it was shown to seal part of a tiled hearth, also Roman in date. [AIP]
