Monument record TR 34 SW 1505 - Medieval garderobe shaft (period 2) 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. In 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 abandoned. A probable garderobe shaft was uncovered in association with a period 2 building (building 42) at the north-western end of the site. (Location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information).
