The position and size of one of the redoubts is shown by OS at above grid ref - something like the front of a blunted redan with 3 faces each of 40ft. (1)
No trace … was seen. (2)
Excavated 1988 in advance of destruction, no trace of redoubt found. The line of circumvallation proposed by RCHME runs SE from Col. Gray's Sconce to a pond, resuming its course on the other side some 150yds to the N, where it includes Redoubt 11b, en route to Moll's Hornwork. According to a contemporary plan (Clampe), the earthworks ran straight to Moll's Hornwork, with no diversion at the pond. The results of the present excavation tend to confirm the C17 plan and suggest the circumvallation (and redoubt) should be sought in a straight projection east of the pond, that is, under the Winthorpe Road estate and the fields to the SE.
