Details
This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 8 September 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a medieval wall surviving as upstanding and below-ground remains. It is situated on level ground between Mill Lane and Abbots Place, near the River Great Stour in Canterbury.
The wall which is approximately 70m long and 2m high, is built of flint on chalk but has later patching, some of brick. It was built in the 14th century and repaired between the 17th century and 20th century. The wall defines part of the area of Canterbury originally known as ‘Black Prince’s Chantry’.
