Monument record TR 34 SW 1482 - Early Medieval Buildings (Buildings 33 and 35 Period 1) off Townwall Street, Dover
Summary
During excavations undertaken by Canterbury Archaeological Trust, ahead of the rebuilding of the Townwall Street filling Station, Dover, a complex series of stratified archaeological deposits were revealed representing activity at the site between the early Medieval period and later post medieval periods. Period 1; 1175-1300 is the first time intensive colonisation of the site began (before had been only superficial activity within the area; Period 0). A series of building plots was established, each occupied by a succession of timber or stone structures, in all 8 individual building plots were identified and five of these were examined in detail. Buildings 33 and 35 were located in plot E at the southern end of the site, these are the third and fourth in the sequence, in a series of nine buildings located at this part of the site.
