During an archaeological Strip Map and Sample excavation carried out ahead of development at the Margate Caves site on Northdown Road in Margate, the remains of the post medieval buildings (Bryan House and Northumberland House) which once stood at this site were revealed. The concentration of this Postmedieval/ Modern archaeology is located in the southern end of both areas A and B. The largest of these features is the series of in filled cellars and back wall of Northumberland house, which were aligned northwestsoutheast and stretched 17.5m across both areas and protruded into the areas on average by 2.5m and 4.5m where there was a window into the cellars. The cellars were red brick built and where filled with the rubble from the demolition of the house, consisting of brick rubble, dressed marble and some metal work such as water tanks. This rubble was left in-situ. Tiled floors were also revealed, these would have been from a northwest-southeast aligned hallway at the back of Northumberland house. They consisted of two tiled rectangular sections. (information summarised from source) (1)
