Monument record TR 34 SW 1533 - Saxon Hut (N1) uncovered during excavation in Dover Town centre, 1973
Summary
A Saxon structure was excavated just to the north of Market Street, Dover, and 3-6m north of the Roman military bath house, in an area previously occupied by derelict houses and gardens. Much of the north and south walls had been truncated by later features but it is clear that the hut was sub-rectangular with slightly rounded corners and measured approximately 4.3m (E-W). (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information)
