Full Description
During a Canterbury Archaeological Trust archaeological watching brief of a path construciton at Langdon Cliffs, the foundation of the former east wall of the former Convict Prison, a small parish boundary ditch and the counterscarp bank of the ditch defending Langdon Battery were discovered.

There was a conspicuous lack of finds relating to military activity at the site, despite the presence of features relating to military activity.
