Abstract: |
Two small-scale excavations undertaken at Dover Castle to allow repairs to existing water mains in the Keep Yard and on Harold's Road near Palace Green, were the subject of an archaeological watching-brief. Although mostly cut through fills relating to previous modern service trenches, a small area of earlier, stratified deposits was revealed in the Harold's Road excavation (NGR 632538 141858). Here, natural chalk was exposed at a depth of 1.02m below present ground level, overlain by about 0.85m of post-medieval deposits which included three shallowly buried chalk surfaces. No closely datable finds were associated with any of these deposits. |
