Full Description
(summarised from publication)
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 an area covering most of the disused burial ground of St. Martin-Le-Grand's church (Burial Ground site) were undertaken in 1970, during this, a small section of a drain (B61) was uncovered in the centre of the south side of the site.
The drain consisted of a single, large chalk block with its top surface hollowed out to create a trough. It was 70cm long by 38cm wide and 16cm high.(1)
