Abstract/Summary
Terrain Archaeology carried out a watching brief during new drainage construction associated with the Osprey Quay development on Portland (NGR SY683743) in October 2002. Observations were limited to the area adjacent to Portland Castle, within the area of the former outworks of the castle. Modern reclamation fill was encountered to a depth of about two metres in all areas. Within this fill were a number of very large dressed Portland stone blocks, some of which may have been derived from the castle outworks. No in situ evidence for the castle outworks was observed.
