Full Description
Suggested alternative site for Archbishop's Palace (TQ 96 SE 1) located at the corner of Teynham Court Road and the road leading to Conyer Creek. Small evaluation trench was dug after a MD wall was observed projecting out from the line of the road. The wall proved substantial and almost certainly of a MD date. Farmer remembers wall being dismantled in 1936-7. Mixed up with the building debris were several pieces of of MD roof tile and pottery (C 13). The hypothesis is supported by the 1795 OS Drawings which show the remains of a building near the corner of the two roads (BL OSD 103/44). (1)
