(TR 15005741) A late 1st-2nd century Roman gravel pit overlaid by a
gravel bank was exposed in 1964 when a police H.Q. was built. It was
inspected by F Jenkins who considered it to represent later adaption
as an amphitheatre. (1)
A possible Roman gravel quarry was revealed in a large mechanically
excavated area dug by contractors for the Police Station at the
junction of Rheims and the Old Dover Road and its cells. A trench
along the north side of the Police Station revealed 1st/early 2nd
century pottery. The pit appears to have been used as a rubbish dump
for a long period. A mound of earth running from the north-east end
end of the Station is believed by Dr Frank Jenkins to represent
landscaping for a possible amphitheatre. (2)
