In 1992 Dover Archaeological Group carried out a watching brief during excavation of foundations for a housing development. A ditched enclosure was found on the north-east side of the site, adjacent to New Street. It was rectangular with rounded corners and 25m x 31m. The ditch had been recut several times and contained pottery of the 1st century AD. Two other ditches of this period were also found. An oval pit within the enclosure contained late 1st/early 2n century pottery; it may have been dug once the enclosure had fallen out of use. A Roman pit was also found, containing 14 pieces of roof tile, dated to the 2nd century or later. (1)
