Findspot record TR 34 SW 633 - Medieval Pottery Found ar Archcliffe Fort, Dover

Summary

Work in connection with conversion of buildings at Archcliffe Fort for use by St. Martin's Emmaus Community in 1996 and 1997. Along with evidence of demolished 18/19th century fort buildings and late Neolithic-Bronze Age activity, nine medieval pot sherds were found ranging in date from the later twelfth - to mid fourteenth centuries. Five of the pieces were of Tyler Hill sandy ware. The two later sherds, c.1275 - 1325/50, could possibly be contemporary with the documented watchtower that stood on the promontory.
