Monument record TR 34 SW 1503 - Medieval activity off Townwall Street Dover (Period 2)
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 2, following the densely packed timber and stone buildings of the period 1 occupation of the site, there appears to have been a marked hiatus at the end of the 13th century, when the structures on most of the plots were abondoned. Only the buildings on plots B and C, situated on either side of Clarence Street were replaced by substantial new stone structures. The remaining plots apparently stood empty and deposits of soil accumulated across mcuh of the area. It is possible that the unoccupied ground was being used as gardens.
