Full Description
2000: Monitoring of the re-excavation of the Left Battery, an 1890s gun emplacement, at Landguard Fort, was carried out by SCCAS during late summer and autumn 2000. The battery, which had been buried during the 1980s was exposed and a large assortment of artefacts recovered, the majority of which date from the 1950s onwards. One of the most unusual finds was a quern stone of probable Roman date, presumably collected and later discarded by personnel stationed at the fort (S1).
See FEX 064 (sf3005) for Landguard Fort itself.
