Monument record TR 34 SW 2764 - Medieval masonry possibly originally belonging to the 'Old Hall' within the Inner Bailey, Dover Castle, Kent

Summary

Within the south eastern wall of the Regimental Museum (northern building) which is largley of an 18th century date, there is some rubble rising to just above ground-floor level, as if it contains the remnant of a gable. The presence of irregular rubble seems to indicate surviving medieval fabric, and most of this seems to date from the 13th century and possibly represents the former site of the 'Old Hall' in this location. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
