Monument record TR 34 SW 1601 - Possible podium (B46) of the CLBR fort II, located at the B.M.W. site, Dover

Summary

During extensive rescue excavations undertaken across Dover’s Town centre by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, substantial remains of the Classis Britannica fort were uncovered and recorded. Excavations in 1973-74, at the former site of the substantial Warren and Reynolds store, to the north of Queen Street, revealed two small rectangular features (one replacing the other) immediately outside the eastern gate in the approximate centre of the forecourt, which appeared to have no structural function. These have been tentatively interpreted as a podium for an altar of small statue. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information).
