Monument record TR 34 SW 1263 - Building debris associated with a Roman building (third phase) near St Martin Le Grand, Dover

Summary

During excavations near the church of St. Martin Le Grand in 1950 a series of Roman walls and floors were located. After the orderly succession of building and rebuilding in the Roman period on the first and second phases of this site, the occupation is disrupted by some disaster represented by burnt timbers, broken pieces of painted wall plaster and lumps of opus signinum (location accurate to the nearest 10m based on available information).
