Taken from source: In Albany Place, on the west of the town, Mr. Amos saw the entrance to a dugout, about half-way down the road on the west side, made in 1918. Roman pottery, tile, pieces of tufa, etc., were found from a depth of 2 ft. below the road to the maximum depth of the cutting, 11 ft. On the western side, this ‘ made ‘soil ‘ rested against a slope of clay,’ which may have been merely the side of a pit, but suggests the possibility of a ditch running in a southerly or south-easterly direction towards the edge of the cliff. (1)

It is possible that the ditch may reppresent the western ditch of the Roman fort of the Classis Brittanica, the western wall of which is located approximately 6m to the east.
