Abstract:		 A watching brief was maintained during the digging of a pipeline for a high voltage cable, the route of which crossed the perimeters and centre of an Iron Age Hillfort (Borough Hill). The work demonstrated the survival of the base of the outer rampart sealing a buried soil. It also confirmed the presence of the outer and inner ditches, previously identified during a geophysical survey and air photographs. Only the upper fills of the ditches were examined due to the limited nature of the disturbance. Of particular importance was the recovery of a small assemblage of pottery which had been provisionally identified as early Anglo-Saxon. An additonal linear feature was found truncating the southern edge of the outer bank. This feature was identified during a previous geophysical survey and appeared to follow the outer defences of the fort. This later ditch appeared to provide evidence for a later phase of defences. Several internal features were recorded, including pits and gullies, as well as more recent features associated with 'modern' landscaping activities. [Au(adp)]
