During an archaeological watching brief undertaken on service trenches by Canterbury Archaeological Trust at Archcliffe Fort, Western Heights, Dover in 2012 a 19th century wall foundation was uncovered. The foundation was located 3.50m north-west of the north corner of the main accommodation block and was constructed from two courses of standard nineteenth-century red and yellow stock bricks, set in a hard grey mortar containing frequent coal and chalk/lime fragments. It survived to a height of 0.22m and rested on undisturbed ground. It appears to constitute the southern corner of a room/structure of unknown extent. A large scale map of the fort produced in 1884 suggests that this walling probably belonged to the then Royal Engineers Offices which occupied this part of the fort. (1)
