An Analytical Survey of Dry Hill Camp
1 An analytical survey of Dry Hill Camp Parish: Dormansland District: Tandridge County: Surrey NGR: TQ 4320 4175 Monument No: 407284 Date of Survey: 2011-2013 Report author: Judie English MCIfA, PhD, FSA April 2020 2 Contents Geology, topography and present land use 3 Historical and Archaeological Background 3 The Survey 12 The Hillfort 12 The surrounding fields 29 The northern field 29 The southern field 31 The south-western field 33 Iron slag and ‘Cyrena’ limestone from excavations by Winbolt and Margary (1933) 33 Discussion 34 Acknowledgements 39 References 39 Distribution 41 3 Geology, topography and present land use Dry Hill Camp (TQ 4320 4175; Monument Number 407284; HER 1269; Pastscape URL http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob id=407284) is a large enclosure of probable Iron Age date, set at 170m OD and looking across the Eden/Medway Valley to the northern portion of the Low Weald and North Downs. It is multi-vallate with an enclosed area of c.10ha and lies just within Surrey, close to the present county boundary with Kent, and with that of East Sussex about 1 mile to the south (figure 1). The hill is at the end of a ridge of Ardingley Sandstone with Grinstead Clay to the north-west and Wadhurst Clay to the south-east. Grinstead, Wadhurst and Weald Clay all contain bands of clay ironstone potentially available for iron production. Also found in Weald Clay are thin (5cm) bands of ‘Cyrena’ limestone, a fossiliferous stone formed and deposited in deep-water conditions during the Cretaceous period. -

ARCHAEOLOGY A N D T H E C H A N N E L T U N N E L PAUL BENNETT with contributions from Rupert Austin, Greg Campbell, Richard Cross, Alex Gibson, Elizabeth Healey, Martin Leyland, Steve Ouditt, Richard Preece, Jonathan Rady and Steve Staines INTRODUCTION Three separate construction areas have received attention from the Canterbury Archaeological Trust: Ashford, where the inland freight clearance depot has been built; Dover, where a construction camp, offices, working areas and a shaft leading down to the tunnel have been constructed; and Folkestone, where the main U.K. terminal facilities, the tunnel portals and a length of 'cut-and-cover' tunnel are presently under construction. Negotiations with Eurotunnel for archaeological work connected with this, the largest ever privately-funded civil engineering venture in Europe, began at an early stage in the life of the project. A document containing all known information regarding sites of archaeological interest was prepared by English Heritage (November 1986)1 and these designated areas were assessed in the field during July and August 1987. -

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.

1 The origins of Avebury 2 1,* 2 2 Q13 Q2Mark Gillings , Joshua Pollard & Kris Strutt 4 5 6 The Avebury henge is one of the famous mega- 7 lithic monuments of the European Neolithic, Research 8 yet much remains unknown about the detail 9 and chronology of its construction. Here, the 10 results of a new geophysical survey and 11 re-examination of earlier excavation records 12 illuminate the earliest beginnings of the 13 monument. The authors suggest that Ave- ’ 14 bury s Southern Inner Circle was constructed 15 to memorialise and monumentalise the site ‘ ’ 16 of a much earlier foundational house. The fi 17 signi cance here resides in the way that traces 18 of dwelling may take on special social and his- 19 torical value, leading to their marking and 20 commemoration through major acts of monu- 21 ment building. 22 23 Keywords: Britain, Avebury, Neolithic, megalithic, memory 24 25 26 Introduction 27 28 Alongside Stonehenge, the passage graves of the Boyne Valley and the Carnac alignments, the 29 Avebury henge is one of the pre-eminent megalithic monuments of the European Neolithic. ’ 30 Its 420m-diameter earthwork encloses the world s largest stone circle. This in turn encloses — — 31 two smaller yet still vast megalithic circles each approximately 100m in diameter and 32 complex internal stone settings (Figure 1). Avenues of paired standing stones lead from 33 two of its four entrances, together extending for approximately 3.5km and linking with 34 other monumental constructions. Avebury sits within the centre of a landscape rich in 35 later Neolithic monuments, including Silbury Hill and the West Kennet palisade enclosures 36 (Smith 1965; Pollard & Reynolds 2002; Gillings & Pollard 2004). -
Appendix 7.1 Policy
THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.1 Policy INTRODUCTION This appendix outlines key policies relating to the London Resort at the national, regional and local planning authority (LPA) levels, in relation to socio-economics. The policies of the following key stakeholders have been reviewed and presented in this appendix: local authorities within the core study area (CSA), namely Dartford, Gravesham and Thurrock, local enterprise partnerships (LEPs), regional bodies including the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP), the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) and Kent County Council (KCC), and government departments. This appendix aims to act as a more detailed review of the polices that are referenced in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio- economics, with a focus on the key themes of relevance to socio-economics. POLICY SUMMARIES This section summarises the policy priorities and requirements across all stakeholders, grouped by key topic area. The key purpose of this section is to provide a link to where each policy theme is addressed in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio-economics. Economic growth The NPPF chapter 6 focuses on growing a strong, competitive economy. At the sub- regional levels, both the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP) and the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) note productivity issues in their economies (as is the case at the national level) and establish policies focusing on improving their productivity. In fact, the TGKP identifies the Swanscombe Peninsula area as a key employment location in which they would like to attract and retain investment. At the Core Study Area (CSA) level, Dartford’s Core Strategy states that key growth sectors include the creative industries, hospitality, leisure, built environment and construction. -
