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.

A Disciple of the Druids. the Beale Poste
Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 A DISCIPLE OF THE DRUIDS THE BEALE POSTE MSS. By JOHN H. EVAITS, F.S.A. THE title of this paper contains a word at which all modern archseologists blanch, for the Druid Myth bedevilled and dominated antiquarian research for a long period, and delayed a true appreciation of many of our problems in prehistory. The intense interest displayed in the Druids and their religion was not the least remarkable of the complex influences which the Romantic Movement exercised upon taste and thought in the century which falls between 1720 and 1820. The white- robed Druid with his romantic appurtenances, the golden sickle, the mistletoe, the sunrise sacrifice in the charmed circle of hoary stones, and behind the deep and gloomy wood, has entirely faded from the archaeological scene, and the study has now fallen into complete neglect, a brilliant exception being Mr. T. D. Kendrick's book The Druids, 1927. That the researches of the Rev. Beale Poste into (among many other things) the West Kent Megaliths should at every point be saturated with the Druid spirit is not surprising when we consider that it was during the actual writing of his The Military Antiquities of Kent that (Mr. Kendrick tells us) " Dr. Joseph Anderson noticed the significance of the entries for the stone circles in the early indexes of Archceolagia ; in 1809 it was simply, Stones, Circles of, but in 1844 this was altered to Stones, Circles of, v. Druids." It is not clear why this magnum opus never saw the printer's ink, for a 4-page, closely printed " Advertisement " promised marvellously well, for Poste was in the habit of giving value for money, and the entranced reader was invited to follow the history of our County from geologic ages to the Dutch War, with a Dictionary of Kenticisms thrown in. -

Aylesford to Maidstone Walk
Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Aylesford to Maidstone walk Ancient sites and a fine viewpoint on Kent's North Downs Length Main Walk: 19 km (11.8 miles). Four hours 45 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9½ hours. Circular Walk, returning to Aylesford: 17½ km (10.9 miles). Four hours 20 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 148. Aylesford, map reference TQ720587, is in Kent, 5 km NW of Maidstone. Toughness 5 out of 10. Features Although only a small village on the banks of the River Medway, Aylesford has a long history. In this area there are neolithic burial sites, memorials to battles from the Roman and Anglo-Saxon eras, a medieval bridge and many ancient buildings. There are also reminders of brick, tile and cement manufacturing, paper mills and quarrying, but many of these old industrial sites are being redeveloped for housing and the only significant blot on the landscape is a large paper recycling plant across the river in Snodland. Aylesford station is 1 km from the village centre and the walk starts with a fine view across the river to The Friars, a Carmelite priory which was dissolved by HenryⅧ and used as a private residence until the main house burnt down in the 20thC. The site was then bought back by the Carmelites and restored to its former use; it is open to the public daily (free entry) except on Christmas week. The route crosses the river on a new road bridge for a picture-postcard view of the village's medieval bridge and other historic buildings. -
