Description
A concrete and brick foundation of a structure, which may have dated to the 1940s when there was a military presence in the tower, was encountered. Also associated with this period a dump deposit was found to contain a large number of processed meat tins and a skeleton of a cat. No evidence was found relating to the construction of the Tower itself within the depth of the contractor's trenches which were a maximum of 0.60m below ground surface.
