Abstract:		 This paper presents the results of archaeological survey and post-excavation analysis of a remarkable number of wooden fish baskets, hurdling and stakes exposed on the foreshore of the Severn Estuary at Sudbrook. The foreshore to the south and southwest of Sudbrook Camp had been the subject of an intensive study in 1990, in advance of construction of the Second Severn Crossing, that found a number and variety of medieval fish traps. The present structures were recorded to the immediate north and south of the Second Severn Crossing, and around the scour of bridge caisson 12, following storms during December 2006 and January 2007 that had swept the foreshore at Sudbrook clear of soft sediment and gravel. All visible fishing structures were sketch-planned, photographed, and selected samples taken for wood identification and radiocarbon dating. They are largely of 11th to14th century date, and include several fish baskets of a globular form, constructed of finely woven willow and hazel, that have not previously been recorded from Sudbrook, or indeed, elsewhere within the Severn Estuary. The evidence from Sudbrook further supports the importance of fishing within the estuary, but also expands upon the inventory of known fishing structures.
