Monument record TR 34 SW 1509 - Later Medieval boundary walls, 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. 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 series of stone boundary walls were laid out across the south eastern part of the site. Constructed in short lengths these appear to be of slightly different dates and more than one phase is certainly represented. They all post-date the latest period 1 structures but closely followed the earlier boundaries. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information).
