Summary
A flat-bottomed ditch was located near the alleged position of a bastion and to the S the butt ends of two successive ditches were traced. The presence of the butt ends of the ditch suggests that the approach to Ludgate was a causeway rather than a bridge. See LUD82 below for later excavation of the same site.
