Monument record TR 34 SW 1713 - Room 10 of the 'East Building', Located at the Cannon Street West Site, Dover
Summary
During a series of extensive rescue excavations, ahead of development in Dover’s town centre undertaken by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, the remains of a large scale Roman structure were revealed and have been interpreted as being part of the eastern section of the south range of a mansio. Room 10, which was located in the eastern half of the building would have likely matched the size and layout of rooms 8 and 9 which were situated to the east, but more than half of it lay outside the limits of excavation. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information)
