Monument record TR 34 SW 1538 - Saxon Hut (N3) uncovered during excavation in Dover Town centre, 1983

Summary

A Saxon structure was located and excavated within the south eastern extension of the northern excavation site, to the north west of Market Street. The structure first appeared as a large rectangular hollow cut into the underlying, late Roman deposits. It had an east-west axis, parallel to the adjacent Roman building, and another, probably contemporary Saxon hut (N6). The eastern end of the hut lay beyond the limits of the excavation but its minimum length was 6m and width 3.2m. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information)
