Monument record TR 34 SW 1760 - Ditch and foundation trench, near New Street, Dover.
Summary
During the clearance of a war damaged site at Yewdens Court (now demolished) in 1952 a large ditch and foundation trench was uncovered. When first uncovered the ditch and foundation trench were thought ot be of a Medieval date but later excavations at the site suggests that this was the western defensive ditch of the late Roman Saxon Shore Fort, and the foundation trench is for the fort wall.
