Abstract/Summary

The work involved archaeological observations and excavations of an extensive area of the historic core of Rochester, prior to the insertion of drains and soak-aways and a new cobbled surface being laid. The scheme extended from the High Street, along Boley Hill, St. Margaret's Street, The Precincts and College Yard. During the course of the project, three medieval buildings, three gateways (two medieval, one Roman), a seventh century church and parts of the Roman and medieval defences were uncovered. Several road deposits were also seen, some of which may be Roman in date. This is a summary of the full report KCC 2003/3.
