Artist's Impression of Roman Warehouses on the waterfront, St Peter Port, Guernsey

Although no structures of the ancient port have been found, there is indirect evidence of a landing station. There are, for example, the ‘warehouses’ at the La Plaiderie site, which consist of two large stone-buildings. Finds from the site confirm that wine, oil, garum (a fish sauce) and other Mediterranean produce were shipped here and then most likely stored in these buildings.
