Abstract:		 ECUS Ltd were commissioned by Network Rail to undertake an archaeological watching brief to the south of the scheduled area Richborough Roman Fort and amphitheatre, Sandwich, Kent, CT13 9JW situated between National Grid Co-ordinates 632302 159891 and 632567 160241. A new boundary fence was to be constructed parallel to the railway line and outside of the Scheduled Monument. As a duty of care and best practice, it was agreed in co-operation with the landowner (English Heritage) that a watching brief should be maintained during the excavation of postholes for the new fence. The site work was undertaken by Daniel Bray and Paul White on 9th and 16th May 2016. Along the line of the new fence (Figure 2) over 100 postholes were monitored and spoil checked for finds. Postholes were spaced at approximately 3 m intervals and excavated by hand with a scissor fencing shovel. Postholes were circular and averaged 0.30 m in diameter, except for supporting posts which were oval in plan, and all were between 0.50 m and 0.80 m in depth. Monitoring of postholes during the construction of a new boundary fence revealed no features of archaeological interests but returned a small assemblage of finds from a total of 15 postholes. The small assemblage of finds which include pottery, CBM, flint and bone which were recovered during the archaeological monitoring were unstratified and not recovered from sealed archaeological contexts.
