Monument record TR 34 SW 1113 - Roman floors and demolition deposits beneath No. 5 Cowgate Hill, Dover
Summary
During an archaeological evaluation carried out in 2009 by Canterbury Archaeological Trust at the site of 1-7 Cowgate Hill, at least 2 Roman floors were found beneath No. 5, along with at least two demolition deposits. The earliest floor consisted of a layer of creamy chalky clay just above the natural coombe rock, while the second was located above a roman demolition deposit and consisted of trodden orange-brown clay with chalk grit. The final Roman deposit within the sequence seen here was a further demolition deposit. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
