Monument record TR 15 NE 1424 - Prehistoric occupation, 1-3 Butchery Lane, Canterbury

Summary

Cellar G had been much disturbed in Medieval and modern times but cellar F contained some shallow post holes cut into the natural soil and pre-Roman Belgic pottery. Evidence of a Roman building was seen in both cellars, close to the frontage of the Parade. Although dating evidence was sparse it would seem that the building was in use in the 3rd and 4th centuries.
