Well, after reading Pete G's exploits and wanderings, one can't help but feel a little envious that all the attention is Way out West, when the possible origins of what's out West is over here in the East!
When you consider the origin of causewayed enclosures is from the continent then Sheppey would be expected to pre-date Wessex . And there is the local precedent of Ramsgate too .
It is a logical assumption, but unfortunately it seems to have been overlooked. Maybe not fashionable enough, maybe uncooperative farmers, who knows.
Ramsgate/Cliffsend and down towards Pegwell Bay is an extremely rich area, with supposed Cursi too, but thanks to the farming methods it's all been levelled. And of course there is a lot of stuff offshore that is lost - there's a site in the shallows at Minnis Bay that I keep meaning to go down and check out, stupid fool that I am the last time I went at high tide...
