Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological excavation and monitoring was carried out at Fort Charlotte, Lerwick, Shetland (HU 475 415) in advance of and during intrusive works near and under the east battery wall. This was the latest phase undertaken in a series of works starting in 1992. Earlier visits had located and recorded the remains of 18th-century gun platforms hidden below the current turf level, and it was necessary to carry out further minor excavation both to locate the previously excavated platforms and to reveal the northern limit of one partially revealed platform, followed by more substantial excavation to allow the insertion of reinforced concrete piles and underpinning under the east battery wall. Since much of the area had been examined in some detail during previous excavations, this latest programme of works did not add a great deal to the interpretation of the sequence of construction in this part of Fort Charlotte. Also, the methodology itself, the deliberate avoidance of the more significant structures (gun platforms), made any new archaeological discoveries less likely. There was no new evidence of the earliest phases.
