Full Description
{1} The rampart here survives to a height of 1.6m and was composed of similar clay and grits to that exposed in trench 1 (1677/1/5). There is a thin layer of charcoal at the base of the rampart but no obvious buried soil. There is no evidence of any of the layers from the phase 2 rampart surviving here. The homogeneous nature of the make-up suggests the surviving rampart is probably part of the core of the phase 1 structure.
