Roman camps UK - is there a database or list?

[ValentinianVictrix]

'ValentinianVictrix, I thought the Dent de Lion in Garlinge was 15th century. Has new work dug up some foundations?'

You need to visit it for yourself. What's left is the remains of an obvious Norman keep that has been built on top of the the lower half of a Roman fort. It's the most bizarre location as its on totally flat ground, you would expect this type of fortification to be on a mound or hill.

I'm a little confused - not unusual. The Pastscape entry here only talks of a 15C gatehouse.

Can you point to the supporting evidence for the Roman fort?

You need to contact the Margate Historical society plus come and look at the physical evidence. The lower part of the Gatehouse appears to be much older than 15th Century, there is evidence that the upper part of the Gatehouse was built on something much older. There were walls around that the locals tore down to make the local cottages from. Its a very interesting site somewhat spoilt by the modern building built right up to the Gatehouse now.
