Monument record TR 34 SW 40 - Roman cremation cemetery to the rear/north of Dover College, Dover, Kent.
Summary
During the excavation by the land owner for the extraction of clay to make bricks, in a field to the rear of Dover College, in 1883, a number of Roman vessels were revealed, some of which containing burnt human remains. This has led to the supposition that a Roman cemetery was located in this area, approximately 500m to the north-west of the extra mural settlement of Roman Dover. (Location accurate to the nearest 100m based on available information)
