Monument record TR 34 SW 1667 - Water pipe (B66) of the CLBR fort II, located at the Car Park 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 1970 in an area which was originally occupied by a small car park on the north side of Queens Street revealed a water pipeline which was traced for a distance of 6m, north-south along the line of the road between barrack B21 and B22. It consisted of a shallow U shaped gully 15cm wide by 10-15cm deep. Two iron water pipe collars were found in situ within the gully, these would have held together sections of a wooden water pipe. (since decayed). (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information).
