In late 1995 and early 1996 the road through the caravan park at Reculver was replaced. During this work a number of Roman features were observed. These included a road, a number of ditches, pits and post holes relating to a fence. Pottery was mostly of the 2nd and 3rd centuries and some late 2nd pottery was found below the road metalling. (1)
