During a series of extensive rescue excavations, ahead of development in Dover’s town centre undertaken by Kent Archaeological Rescue unit a series of features relating to the late Roman Saxon Shore Fort were excavated and recorded. Long lengths of both the south and western defensive walls of the Shore fort were located at various sites during these excavations. This includes a section of the west wall of the fort which was uncovered during excavations of the Roman Military Bath House, which is situated less than 1m to the east of the wall.

Only the bottom course of the wall survived at this location to a maximum height of 10cm with a width of 2.5m. It had been constructed using chalk blocks in a hard white mortar for the core, tufa blocks for the external face and chalk blocks for the internal face. (1)
