Archaeologists planned to build a fence but found a Roman wall
Archaeologists who set out to put up a safety fence at Rochester's medieval castle have unexpectedly uncovered a Roman city wall.
The team had "barely taken the turf off when they unearthed a solid mass of stone masonry", Medway Council said.

I remember working at the old baily years ago. which is built on the site of newgate prison ,& around the back, is an alleyway that they call deadmans walk, which was used by the prisoners, on there last walk to the gallows.

The wall of the walk , was partly the old roman city wall around london.

Good post craig!
