  I don't think anyone thinks that the romans founded Dover seeing as how there is an enormous iron age mound up at the Castle!! Romans took over previously established tounships, in a way only, in that Britons themselves became romanised; except where a vicus grew up around a fort and thus established a new town. I do not know whether the mansio (York Street) proves the existence of a vicus, but even if there is one, we celts were here first!
  However, the Port of Dover itself has been established on land that was under the sea in roman or prehistoric times, so any history of the Port of Dover itself cannot claim the bronze age. That part of our history pertains to the town.
