Full Description
In February and March 2008 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land centred on Russell Street, Dover, Kent (NGR: TR 3211 4135). The project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. on behalf of Bond City.
Trench 9: was 28.4m long by up to 2.4m wide and was located in the area of a large, extant crater, which had previously removed deposits to a depth of up to 2.3m (3.13m OD) below modern ground surface. This enabled access to deposits and features at depths not possible in the other trenches. The trench contained a number of potentially archaeologically significant deposits and features.
Two pits were located approximately half way along the trench to a maximum depth of 3.4m (1.93m OD) below the modern ground surface. The features contained 12th/13th century pottery along with bone and oyster shell, and probably represents Medieval rubbish pits.(1)
