Abstract:		 Basal organic deposits from the ditch fills indicated the following sequence of events: shallow standing freshwater in the base of the ditch, with dense woodland; continued freshwater sedimentation; wetter conditions; indications of more open conditions; human remains with sword-cuts dumped in ditches; plant macrofossils and molluscs indicating brackish-water flooding of the site from the nearby roddon channel. Given the suspected historical context of these deposits -- capture of the fort by Roman forces -- it is suggested that brackish-water flooding may have related to a deliberate breaching of the levees of the roddon. The original basal deposits were de-watered and deteriorating prior to current management of the water-table locally: it is hoped this will arrest further degradation.
