  • The Warren Farm Chamber: a Reconsideration
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE WARREN FARM CHAMBER: A RECONSIDERATION PAUL ASHBEE At least seven ruined but recognisable stone-chambered long barrows, Kit's Coty House being the best known, still remain in the Medway valley where that river cuts through the chalk of the North Downs. They had exceptionally high rectangular chambers, proportional facades, and stone kerbs. In plan they recall the southern English earthen long barrows, originally of timber, such as Fussell's Lodge in Wiltshire (Ashbee 1966). They are distinct from other groups and are likely to have been versions of the stone-built long barrows of Holland and Northern Germany (Ashbee 1999). The Medway's megalithic long barrows (Fig. 1), like others of their kind, were surrogate long houses (Ashbee 1999, 270) and also repositories for human remains rather than mere tombs. There may have been centuries of recourse to them, before they were finally sealed with occupation debris (Piggott 1962, 26; Woodward 1993). Their construction with sarsen stones, some of almost Stonehenge calibre, required considerable labour, while they cannot but have fulfilled a central role for the Neolithic communities of the terrain that was to become Kent. Early in 1822 the great stones of a long barrow chamber's remnant part were encountered, just within the 300ft contour, and close by Warren Farm, on Blue Bell Hill (NGR TQ 753 606). An obstruction to ploughing had led to digging which disclosed large sarsen stones just below the surface. George Fowle, of Cobtree Manor, the landowner, ordered their removal, but when three uprights emerged he determined that they should be uncovered.

  • The Medway Megaliths and Neolithic Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE MEDWAY MEGALITHS AND NEOLITHIC KENT* ROBIN HOLGATE, B.Sc. INTRODUCTION The Medway megaliths constitute a geographically well-defined group of this Neolithic site-type1 and are the only megalithic group in eastern England. Previous accounts of these monuments2 have largely been devoted to their morphology and origins; a study in- corporating current trends in British megalithic studies is therefore long overdue. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BRITISH MEGALITHIC STUDIES Until the late 1960s, megalithic chambered barrows and cairns were considered to have functioned purely as tombs: they were the burial vaults and funerary monuments for people living in the fourth and third millennia B.C. The first academic studies of these monuments therefore concentrated on the typological analysis of their plans. This method of analysis, though, has often produced incorrect in- terpretations: without excavation it is often impossible to reconstruct the sequence of development and original appearance for a large number of megaliths. In addition, plan-typology disregards other aspects related to them, for example constructional * I am indebted to Peter Drewett for reading and commenting on a first draft of this article; naturally I take responsibility for all the views expressed. 1 G.E.

  • Visiting the Kent Countryside – a Guide for Parents of Children with Autism
    !"#"$%&'()*' +*%(',-.%(/0#"1* !"#$%&'"()*"+!*',-." )("/0%1&*',"2%-0"!$3.4 This booklet aims to help parents and carers of children with autism to access nature and the countryside in Kent. It should also prove useful to those living and working with adults with autism. The booklet represents the first in a series of projects to be undertaken by Autism and Nature, a new Social Enterprise. It begins by introducing some of the health benefits of nature and the countryside for children with autism. This is followed by a guide to ‘natural’ places to visit in the Kent countryside, which the authors believe many children with autism might enjoy. The booklet concludes with a series of case stories, describing visits to the countryside by school children with autism and related conditions.
