Abstract:		 In connection with the under-pinning and refacing of the retaining wall in front of the Unitarian Church the Canterbury Archaeological Trust monitored the excavation of a number of small foundation pits and trenches. A useful sequence through the archaeological deposits in this part of the old town was recorded, largely confirming observations made in the area by the Dover Excavation Committee after the last war. Prehistoric flints and Belgic and Roman pottery were collected, and a thin layer of sand was interpreted as being connected with a much more extensive deposit of windblown sand which covered most of this part of Dover in the early-mid Saxon period. Traces of medieval and early post-medieval walling observed within the fabric of the retaining wall along the western edge of the site indicated that the boundary had been established for centuries, probably relating to an original medieval property boundary within the old town.
