Monument record TR 15 NW 2269 - Medieval Canterbury Castle Precincts, Worthgate Area
Summary
During the medieval period Worthgate was within the castle precinct and the way between the town and Wincheap passed through the castle yard. In 1548 the Roman gateway at Worthgate was blocked in. However, in the 1790's the route was restored when a new road was made through the former castle precincts and the blocked wall re-opened.
