Abstract:		 A hand-dug pipe trench cut within Archcliffe Fort, Dover, across the lawn between the former married quarters and the Emmaus furniture shop showed that a metalled courtyard/parade ground, still extant across much of the interior of the fort, had once extended further to the north-east. This former yard was sealed under a substantial deposit of soil and rubble which supported the present area of grass. The creation of this grassed area apparently occurred during the twentieth century, probably when the new army married quarters were erected on the site sometime after the Second World War. Map and photographic evidence indicate that the courtyard itself was not an original feature of the nineteenth-century fort, being laid down just before, or during, the First World War. The trenching produced only a small quantity of finds, the bulk of which are of nineteenth- and twentieth-century date. A few items from earlier periods, including two prehistoric struck flints and a small medieval pot sherd, were also recovered, but the most noteworthy find was a substantially complete military steel helmet of First World War date.
