Building record TR 34 SW 2500 - Peverells Tower and Gateway, Outer Curtain, Dover Castle
Summary
The western defences are the most prominent aspect of the castle’s defences and are largely medieval in origins and character. The western curtain wall south from the old north gateway as far as Peverell’s Gateway is attributed to the work of King John between 1204 and 1216 and marks the southernmost length of King Johns building campaign of the early C13th.
