Abstract: |
An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Walkover Survey was conducted for the site of the proposed new admissions buildings at Dover Castle, Kent. The appraisal site is located on the western half of a terrace at the base of the south slope of the earthwork bank around St Mary in Castro (site centred NGR TR 32673 41758). The site is currently occupied by a temporary ticket office and a car park and is situated within the curtilege of the Scheduled Ancient Monument (National Monument Number 30281). A review of the existing archaeological information suggests that archaeological remains deriving from the early land use of the site and castle are likely to have been significantly truncated as a result of Medieval and Post Medieval groundwork within the development area. However, the development site is considered to have High potential for the survival of archeological features and deposits relating to the Medieval and Post Medieval fortifications and landscaping of the castle grounds. The evidence is reviewed and recommendations suggested for further work. |
