Abstract: |
Excavations at Richborough Castle were conducted ahead of the construction of a new public toilet block adjacent to the carpark. The site fell outside the defences of the late Roman fort but lay within the area of the Roman civil settlement. Due to the relatively limited scale of the works and previous disturbance, the remains exposed are not easy to interpret. Traces of stratified Roman deposits, including a possible walking surface, wereidentified but no significant structural remains were revealed. A number of the recorded deposits appear to be of post-Roman date and some could represent spoil dumped from the 1930s excavations. Finds recovered included seven Roman coins, a quantity of Roman pottery and brick/tile, two pieces of marble veneer derived from the late first-century triumphal arch, an iron knife and a possible piece of Roman scale armour. |
