Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken along and outside the western defences of the fort. The earliest feature identified (phase 1B) was a ditch from the western defences or from the construction camp. A section of phase 1B, consisting of double ditched and turf rampart defences was sampled and a group of contemporary ovens were encountered. Features from the western annex were identified (phase 1C), comprising of a palisade trench and a causeway, which was later re-cut. Pallisade trenches (phase 2B) were identified associated with animal pens. The defences were sealed after phase 2B during the first period of abandonment. The Roman Road on the site was reused during the post-medieval period. A concrete foundation associated with Second World War defences was also identified. [Au(abr)]
