Monument record TR 34 SW 1391 - Post medieval graves, associated with the former cemetery of St. Martin-Le-Grand Church, Dover
Summary
Evaluation trenches were dug by Oxford Archaeological Unit between 1988 and 1991 at the White Cliffs Experience site in the town centre, these revealed that many of the Roman features were cut by later (possibly Medieval but probably post medieval) graves. These graves had also been encountered during the town centre rescue excavations undertaken by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit in the 1970's, at both the Burial Ground Site and the Car Park site. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information).
