Abstract:		 Excavations were undertaken at Fishbourne Roman Palace for periods of six weeks during 1995, 1996 and 1997. The 1997 season concentrated on the north and west sides of a masonry building, 'Building 3', found in earlier seasons and situated to the east of the main palace. The complete plan of this courtyard building was recovered, and two probably contemporary features were found outside and immediately to the west. One comprised a cobbled surface, probably the remnants of a metalled road running north-south flanking the building. The other, on the west side of the road, was a flat-bottomed ditch, also running north-south. The latter was almost certainly a ditch dug in the first century AD, which held a diverted stream when it was moved to the east to accommodate the construction of the proto-palace. Dating evidence suggested that Building 3 had probably been constructed in c. AD 60-70, and was probably contemporary with the proto-palace. The function of Building 3 remained uncertain. A further feature, comprising a gully containing twenty-two evenly-spaced animal limb-bones, was also recorded. No immediate expanation could be given for this feature, which was probably of post-medieval date. [AIP]
