Monument record TR 34 SW 2562 - Former site of 18th century barracks to the south of the Keep at Dover Castle

Summary

In response to the need for extra troop accommodation within Dover castle in the mid 18th century, a number of barracks were constructed to the south of the main Keep yard and just to the north west of Colton’s Gate, in an area of flat ground. These were redeveloped in the 19th century on a larger scale and were eventually demolished in the 1960’s. (location accurate to the nearest 10m based on available information)
