Full Description

(taken from source)

An Archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit in 1999 ahead of the development of a site off Limekiln Street, into a workshop and welfare facility. The site is a triangular plot situated between the Dover-Folkestone-London railway line, to the north, the Dover south service station to the south and the high brick retaining wall (abutting the cliff face) to the west. Several minor features were uncovered during the cutting for the bases and foundation trenches. These include vairous brick walls, or brick arches, relating to recent cellars and tanks. All of these were constructed of yellow or orange bricks and are certainly no earlier than the 19th century in date. None of these structures could be seen in enough detail to establish their relevance. (1)
