Abstract: |
Small-scale excavations undertaken at three points along roads within the Outer Bailey of Dover Castle showed that, although there had been damage caused by previous services, some stratified deposits of archaeological significance still survived. A dark, midden-like deposit encountered in Pit 1 close to the Fitzwilliam Gate appeared to be of interest but remains undated. Traces of early chalk and gravel road metalling were exposed in Pits 2 and 3 dug in Knight's Road. These seem to be of later post-medieval date and most probably relate to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century occupation of the site. A pair of iron pipes located in Trench 2 was tentatively identified as Lamson Tubes, forming part of a communications system installed c.1943. |
