Monument record TR 34 SW 2601 - Former site of the Pentic linking Arthurs Hall to the Keep wihtin the inner Bailey at Dover Castle

Summary

A pentice runs from the entrance to the forebuilding eastwards across the inner bailey to Arthur’s Hall on a number of historic illustrations and maps of the inner bailey at Dover Castle. A blocked doorway in the western wall of Arthurs hall would have originally been connected with this pentice, linking it with the forebuilding of the keep. None of the archaeological excavations which have been undertaken within the inner bailey have identified wall footing relating to the former site of this structure and it is likely that it was constructed in timber.
