Abstract: |
A major programme of stabilisation and maintenance work was undertaken at the nineteenth century Fort Burgoyne, near Dover Castle, between February and June 2013 (NGR 63243 14272, centred; Scheduled Ancient Monument No. 467988). Canterbury Archaeological Trust was engaged to maintain a watching-brief during the course of the project. This allowed the recording of soil sequences and structural details exposed during the various excavations and clearance tasks being undertaken. It was possible to salvage a number of artefacts of historical interest and put them into safe storage on the site. The somewhat piecemeal nature of the fieldwork highlighted the need for a complete, systematic survey of the entire fort, which remains remarkably well preserved. |
