Monument record TR 15 NW 2186 - Roman defensive rampart, Canterbury City Wall Defences
Summary
A large earthen ramapart was added to the inside of the defensive town wall to provide instant access to the wall top, and to house and provide a defensive fighting platform, and to act as additional support to the wall itself (it's not clear whether the rampart was extended to the whole of the walls circuit).
