Abstract:		 A watching brief involving the monitoring of the excavation of a NORWEB plc cable trench, part of which lay within the scheduled area of a Roman fort, and the remainder within an area of archaeological interest as defined by the Lancashire County Archaeological Curator, was undertaken. Three features of archaeological interest were recorded. A layer of compacted stone running from the break of slope of the rampart to the ditch edge, presumably put in place to prevent slippage of material into the ditch. A surface of burnt clay and charcoal in an area thought to be for storage and repair, the burnt clay possibly indicating an industrial process; and a north-south orientated Punic ditch forming the boundary of the putative storage/repair area.
