Full Description

Deep excavations for the new swimming pool in 1971 allowed the rapid recording of an extensive sequence of Medieval deposits by members of the New Dover and Reculver Excavation Groups. The deposits, comprising alternate layers of dumped chalk rubble and occupation debris, ranges in date from the 13th to 16th centuries. Two late Medieval or early post medieval walls were also recorded, together with a 13th century well. The recorded sequence can now be seen to be largely the same as that revealed at the nearby B.P filling station and Russell Street car park. (taken from source). (1)
