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. During these excavations a total of seven of the Shore Forts external bastions were located and excavated. This includes the third bastion along the west wall of the Saxon Shore Fort which was discovered during excavations at the ‘Painted House’ in the 1970’s. This bastion has been left exposed and is open for the public to view alongside the ‘Painted House’. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information).
