Monument record TR 34 SW 1716 - Area of metalling north 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. A section of metalling to the north of the northern wall of the main building was located and is the probable flooring of a passage which ran along the northern side of the structure.
