There is no mention of stone for the castle during these two reigns, but after the death of John we find that works are going on at Dover for which kilns are required. (_Close Rolls_, i., 352, 1218.) This entry is followed by a very large expenditure on Dover Castle (amounting to at least £6000), sufficient to cover the cost of a stone wall and towers round the outer circuit. The orders of planks for joists must be for the towers, and the large quantities of lead, for roofing them. The order for timber "ad palum et alia facienda" in 1225 _may_ refer to a stockade on the advanced work called the Spur, which is said to be Hubert's work. (_Close Rolls_, ii., 14.)

The _Historia Fundationis_ of St Martin's Abbey says that Henry II. built the high tower in the castle, and enclosed the donjon with new walls: "fit le haut tour en le chastel, et enclost le dongon de nouelx murs." _M. A._, iv., 533. [405] Puckle's _Church and Fortress of Dover Castle_, p. 57. [406] _Pipe Rolls_, 1178-80. "In operatione muri circa castellum de Doura, £165, 13s. 4d. The same, £94, 7s. 1d." [407] Mr Statham thinks the port of Dover, though a Roman station, was unwalled till the 13th century, and gives evidence. _History of Dover_, p. 56.
