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 south of the southern wall of the main building was located, this possibly served as a narrow track linking to the southern opening in room 10. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information)
