Abstract:		 A landscape survey was undertaken on the Anglo-Saxon Chapel of St Peter and the Roman Saxon Shore fort of Othona. A number of archaeological deposits were identified. The only visible standing remains of the fort were visible within a band of trees to the north of Linett's Cottage, consisting of a section of the south wall, standing to a height of 0.8m. A pronounced bank was located to the east of the position of the Western Wall of the fort, believed to have been remains of the wall. A dip was identified to the west of this, possibly a relict of the ditch associated with the fort. No traces of features were identified within the fort itself. A series of timbers were located to the east of the coastline, which ran parallel to the coast, probably forming the basis of a small quay, associated with the 'Tip Head' which was marked on the early editions of the OS. The landscape survey identified areas of disturbance and damage in the study area and these should be addressed as a management priority to prevent further damage. Parts of the wall were crumbling and needed to be recorded before further damage occurred. [Au(adp)]
