During an archaeological watching brief undertaken by Canterbury Archaeological Trust at The Grand Shaft Barracks in 2017 a set of red brick wall foundations were uncovered representing the former site of the fficers Quarters Range B. Four wall foundations were uncovered, all were of similar construction, being built from dense, frogless orangered bricks set in a light grey gritty mortar containing frequent charcoal and chalk/lime specks. This mortar type would appear to equate with the primary, early nineteenth century buildings erected on the site. The walls were cut into earlier clay deposits which very probably significantly pre-date the construction of the barracks complex, although they were not examined in detail.
