Name: | Two gullies (B94-95) of the CLBR fort II, located at the B.M.W. site, Dover |
During extensive rescue excavations undertaken across Dover’s Town centre by Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, substantial remains of the Classis Britannica fort were uncovered and recorded. Excavations in 1973-74, at the former site of the substantial Warren and Reynolds store, to the north of Queen Street, two gullies were located running roughly north-south across the site. One of the gullies contained an in-situ iron collar, this collar had been used to joint wooden pipes and it is therefore likely that both of these gullies would have held wooden water mains. (location accurate to the nearest 2m based on available information).
