Excavations at Fishbourne, 1964: Fourth Interim Report
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 November 2011
Extract
During the fourth season of excavation at Fishbourne work was spread over an area of about ten acres, most of it being concentrated on three main sites: the west wing of the main building, the eastern half of the north wing, and the southern half of the east wing. In addition, exploratory trenches were dug through the area to the north of the north wing and several trial excavations were made in gardens to the south of the modern main road. Previously, in December 1963 and January 1964, limited excavations had been undertaken in the garden of no. 65 Fishbourne Road, in the area of the greenhouses to the west of the main site, and in other gardens further west.

It is interesting to note that the other type of store-building represented here closely resembled the granary discovered at Fishbourne in 1962.
