Monument record TR 34 SW 941 - A possible pre-1850 military ditch, Dover Western Heights
Summary
During a watching brief on water main works in 2007/8 a large broad ditch was found. The available evidence seems to suggest that it pre-dates the construction of Citadel road in 1850 and the feature may therefore relate to an early fieldwork constructed prior to the formalisation of the defences here.
