Monument record TR 34 SW 2556 - Medieval ditch on the western side of Dover Castle

Summary

The western ditch belongs to the earliest phases of the castle, and must have been here by the time the 13th century curtain wall was completed, or soon after. Though it has gone through several stages of alteration is it essentially Medieval in character. (location accurate to the neartes 1m based on available information)
