During an archaeological watching brief undertaken on two pits excavated on the southern side of Emmaus Community's Workshop, in the western corner of Archcliffe Fort, a piece of carved stone was noted. It was located within the builders spoil in rubble derived from the footings of the workshop wall. It consisted of a section of Caen Stone column, 0.24m in diameter and 0.33m long. The stone was clearly re-used and is likely to be of a Medieval origin, perhaps Norman. It is possible that it is derived from stone-work brought in from a demolished Medieval building in the town, for use in the construction of the fort (under Henry VIII perhaps?).
