A number of post medieval features were uncovered during an archaeological evaluation undertaken at 70 Maison Dieu Road in Dover. The features were located in trenches 3 and 4, they included a brick lined cellar, a brick wall, which may possibly relate to Charlton Lodge which was formerly situated at the site, a rubble layer and a rectilinear area which may have been a discrete entity. The 1842 Tithe Map shows the site to be occupied at this time by the house and gardens of Charlton Lodge. The site appears to have altered little by the time of the early Ordnance Survey maps of the area, although development in the surrounding area has encroached upon the house. The site was redeveloped in 1937 when Charlton Lodge was demolished and three large buildings were constructed on the site. The brick walling discovered was so badly crushed that no diagnostic elements could be recovered for dating purposes. (1)
