Monument record TR 34 SW 1492 - Early Medieval Building (buildings 6 and 7 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. Plot G was a small plot between E and H and contained a succession of ten individual buildings. Buildings 6 and 7 were the second and third in the succession and may be dated to c. 1150-1200 (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
