Monument record TR 34 SW 1558 - Hypocaust beneath room three (hot room 1) of the Roman military bath house, Dover.
Summary
During excavations undertaken in Dover town centre by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, a Roman military bath house was excavated and recorded. A substantial hypocaust was located beneath room three, which was a hot room located to the east of the hot bath in room 2. This hypocaust may be associated with the period two re-build of this room, but it is likely that it replaces an earlier hypocaust associated with the first period, imprints of which were uncovered in a small examination of the period one floor.
