  • 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.

  • Excursion to Sheppey
    EXCURSION TO SHEPPEY. 459 Heath, where there is a fine section in an outlier of Blackheath Beds. Towards the base the pebbles had become cemented by iron oxide into a hard conglomerate. Sand occurred below the pebble beds, and between the two was a thin band of allophane ; numerous specimens of this mineral were obtained. The amount of oxide of iron present gave the section a vivid red appearance. In spite of a long search, nothing beyond flint pebbles was found although on previous occasions a few quartzite pebbles of unknown derivation had been obtained by Dr. Hinde. Above the Blackheath Beds was to be seen a quantity of drift material, derived from Blackheath Beds and Thanet Sand. A short walk through a picturesque plantation brought the members to the edge of the dry Chalk valley, and the magnificent view there obtained was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A steep descent was made to the main road, and Upper Warlingham was again reached. Here the members enjoyed the hospitality of the Rev. T. T. Griffith, M.A., amidst the sylvan beauties which surround his home. Hearty votes of thanks to the Director and to the Rev. Mr. Griffith concluded an instructive excursion. REFERE~CES.

  • RECULVER CHURCH, VIEWED from WEST DOORWAY of RECULVER CHURCH a D I860 the NORTH WEST, A.Q- 1877- RECTJLVER CHURCH
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 12 1878 ( 248 ) EECULVER CHURCH. BY GEOBGE DOWKEK, ESQ., E.G.S. Is1 in our examination of the Castrum at Reculver we derive little assistance from historical data preserved to us, such is not the case with the Church; in its immediate connection with the Roman period, how- ever, little guide is vouchsafed us. "When the Ro- mans finally left Britain, it is probable that the in- habitants had so learned their customs, and adopted their manners, that but little difference might be per- ceived in their buildings, etc. They were serfs, left without their lords and masters, but these were soon forthcoming in the warriors they invited over to pro- tect them from their numerous enemies. The Saxons who thus came as their protectors were soon their masters. The Britons had thus but changed one set of masters for another. Religious belief, their cus- toms and manners, appear to have been soon altered. It appears but a fair inference, that they still clung to their former strongholds, and the Oastra which had been built to repel invasion were still used for a like purpose. Through this succession of dark and trouble- some times we have few facts to guide us; but at a later period the introduction of Christianity, and the spread of knowledge and civilization, leave us in pos- session of historical data of the greatest possible interest. Around this spot are grouped, either by tradition or document, a host of witnesses, bringing RECUU/ER CHURCH, VIEWED FROM THE NORTH EAST IN 1781.
