Conservation works were undertaken at Camden fort. Monitoring of the ground at the highest part of the fort took place prior to the insertion of services and percolation pits. This area had been backfilled with quarried rock, probably associated with the initial preparation for the construction of the fort. No archaeological stratigraphy was evident.
