A watching-brief undertaken by Canterbury Archaeological Trust during the ground-works for the construction of a new Sea-Sport Centre, situated off Esplanade, Dover. Under the tarmac of the modern car-park, the trench section revealed a succession of post-medieval make-up and dump deposits. In the base of the trench, adjacent to the western manhole, a layer of pebble concrete was exposed. This appeared to be of nineteenth century date and may be connected to the former Ordnance Depot that existed on the quayside here during the nineteenth century.
