The paper includes a report on the excavation of the Old Fort, Whitehaven, a discussion of the available documentary evidence on the fort and its role in the Whitehaven defences. The excavation revealed the original ground plan, despite later stone-robbing and demolition. A group of post-medieval pottery, datable to between c. 1740-1770, was found sealed beneath the sandstone block flooring of the fort
