Abstract/Summary

Watching brief conducted on Grassed area to rear of Admiralty Lookout (previously site of Hospital Barracks, demolished c. 1960), in advance of intalling a fenced compound around First World War anti-aircraft gun exhibit.Total of 50 post-pits were excavated around the perimeter of a rectangular area measuring approximately 16m north-west to south-east by 15.10m north-east by south-west. Most post-pits revealed only a succession of modern levelling and demolition deposits. No artefacts of archaeological significance were noted during the programme of excavation. The single area of significant brickwork noted is probably related to a wall associated with the former Hospital Barracks building, probably part of south-west entrance area; however, it does not align directly with any walls seen on the known plan from c.1927 (Porter 2014).
