Of course, the first thing I did was to dash back here and search frantically for anything on the site, and came up with this http://www.cgms.co.uk/archive-news/300904.php, which turns out to have a BA counterpart just to the north, and is due to be used as a site for housing.

They were very excited about the fact that Kent can now predate Wessex, with more causewayed enclosures to be looked at and dated. The one in Burham is invisible, even on aerial photographs, but someone must have seen something, and they are preparing to look at it as soon as they can.

As for more tombs, they talked about 'doing' Warren Farm, and the one-that-was-discovered-then-reburied-and-forgotten near Cossington Spring, and 'other sites' around the lower slopes near Tottington. There are others, but they only found out about them when I mentioned them today [slumpy I and II ?] and will investigate as soon as we can arrange a mutual date. I told them 365, 24/7, Christmas Day included!!

They say that the dating evidence for both Sheppey and Cliffsend makes them considerably older than Windmill Hill [how smug was I, able to converse at least on basic terms with them!] and with over 500 [yes, 500!] BA barrows recorded on Thanet alone, plus at least another 1000 between the coast and the Stour valley, if farming and the proximity to the continent had not wiped most of them away, Wessex and Kent would be on a par as far as the public were concerned.

Going back on Saturday [if not tomorrow] and will try to find out some more info.

Me, I'm wagging my imaginary tail and grinning a daft grin :D
