Monument record TR 34 SW 1638 - Barrack block (B25) of the CLBR fort II, located at the Battle of Britain Homes site, Dover.
Summary
During extensive rescue excavations undertaken across Dover’s Town centre by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, the southern end of a substantial structure representing a barrack block (B25) was located at the Battle of Britain Homes site in 1971 and is today beneath the York Street bypass. The structure was the eastern of a pair (B26 its partner) of barrack blocks, both of which were on a north-south axis, located parallel and about 1m from each other. About 31m of the length of this building was uncovered and at least three periods of development were represented. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information)
