Monitoring of the excavation of support post-holes for the erection of a metal fence around the base of McArt’s Fort did not uncover any objects of an archaeological nature. The post-holes did not disturb archaeological ditch fill deposits in the vast majority of cases, except the top 0.1m depth of ditch fill, in the form of possible silting deposits. As this disturbance was limited in depth, no further information as to the nature of the backfilling or date of the ditch was available.
