Monument record TR 34 SW 1831 - Timber piles and waling beam (R1) possibly part of Dover's post medieval harbour wall
Summary
During observations made by Archaeology South East for shoring the deep navigation cut being built to link the Wellington Dock section of Dover Harbour to the existing outer harbour, a North-South structure comprising of oak piles and a single course of an oak waling beam was uncovered. This appears to have been created to contain stone material which presumably formed a foundation to a now disappeared structure above it. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
