Abstract: |
A watching brief maintained during improvements to the car park south of Deal Castle revealed more than a dozen buried archaeological features. These comprised eleven pits, two post-holes and a length of gravel pathway. All of these features appeared to be of nineteenth-twentieth-century date with nothing that might be associated with the early occupation of the adjacent castle. There were no traces of any significant structures associated with the Second World War coastal gun battery that stood nearby. A small collection of later post-medieval finds was recovered during the work. The bulk of this material consists of glazed chinaware and glass, together with some clay tobacco pipe fragments, a few pieces of broken red brick and roof tile, a small amount of animal bone and some prehistoric flintwork, perhaps derived from elsewhere. |
