  • Prehistoric Settlement Patterns on the North Kent Coast Between Seasalter and the Wantsum
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 129 2009 PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT PATTERNS ON THE NORTH KENT COAST BETWEEN SEASALTER AND THE WANTSUM TIM ALLEN The area of the north Kent coast addressed in the following study comprises the London Clay-dominated coastal flats, levels and low hills lying north of the Blean, west of the Wantsum Channel and east of Seasalter Level (Map 1). The area measures approximately 15km (10 miles) east-west and 4km (2½ miles) north-south, this representing 60km2. Archaeological remains dating from the Mesolithic to the Roman period were examined with the intention of determining whether significant changes in settlement/ occupation patterns could be discerned over this protracted period and, if so, whether the factors underlying those changes could be identified. A total of 32 sites were investigated and are listed below (Reculver, despite its Late Iron Age origin, has been excluded because of its largely military function during the Roman period, see Rivet and Smith 1981, 446-7; Philp 1959, 105). The statistical evidence derived from the sites is necessarily indicative rather than precise and, as new sites are constantly being uncovered, the list cannot be fully comprehensive. It is also probable that some of the sites represent parts of the same large, widespread settlements, others evidence of relatively transient occupation activity. Despite this it is proposed that the sample is large enough for significant conclusions to be drawn in terms of period-specific settlement activity and for new insights to be gained into the way settlement patterns have changed in the area over several thousand years. Background The archaeological potential of the study area was considered to be low until recently, probably because of its desolate and thinly settled nature during recent and historical times, as this description of the parish of Herne, in the eastern part of the coastal levels, makes clear: This parish is situated about six miles north-eastwards from Canterbury, in 189 TIM ALLEN Map.

  • Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NOTES ON ROMAN ROADS IN EAST KENT By IvAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE Roman roads of East Kent are generally so obvious and well known that no further description of them seems necessary. There are, however, a few points at which the line is doubtful or where topographical problems admit of some discussion, and it is in considera- tion of these that the following notes are offered. They are based upon field observation made during a visit of some days to the district in June, 1947. STONE STREET—LYMPNE TO CANTERBURY The very striking directness of this road makes it clear that its purpose was to link Canterbury with the Roman port at Lympne. This was probably situated below the old cliffs, near the hamlet of West Hythe, to which access is given by a convenient combo in the cliffs at that point from Shipway Cross above. The Saxon Shore fort at Stutfall Castle was, of course, a late Roman construction, much later than Stone Street, and was probably connected to West Hythe by a spur road below the cliffs, for access to it from Lympne, directly above, would have been awkward. It is to Shipway Cross and the head of the combe that the main alignment of Stone Street is exactly directed. Although it has now disappeared between the Cross and New Inn Green, there are distinct traces of its scattered stone metalling in the field to the south of the Green, while portions of hedgerows and a footpath mark some parts of its course there.
