An extended watching brief on a service trench revealed the following:- a stone built culvert which may have been contemporary with the 19th century barracks; disturbed human bone and three truncated human burials probably in a medieval graveyard; part of a substantial rubble-built wall believed to be part of the 16th century French fort defences; a deposit of rubble and lime, perhaps part of a post-medieval industrial process or mortar marking; part of an iron spur recovered from a deposit of silty loam containing animal bone possibly dating to the post-medieval period.
