EARLY MAN 



able thickness, which Sir John Evans pronounces to be of undoubtedly 

 Gaulish type. 



In conclusion, attention may be called to the diffusion of the 

 coins of two of the kings of the Kentish district. Those of Eppillus 

 have been recorded from Ash-next-Sandwich, Aylesford, Bapchild, 

 Birchington, Margate, and Sittingbourne ; whilst those of Dubnovel- 

 launus have been found at Boughton Monchelsea, Canterbury, Frinds- 

 bury, Gravesend, and Ramsgate. 



Barrows and Tumuli 



The following list of barrows and tumuli in Kent includes remains 

 which may very possibly be of post-Roman as well as pre-Roman 

 date. As only a comparatively small proportion have been excavated 

 and examined it is impossible to make any satisfactory classification, and 

 it has been considered more convenient, therefore, to include in this list, 

 as far as possible, all Kentish barrows and tumuli.* 



Aldington. — A large tumulus known as Aldington Knoll, and another mound called Roman 

 Beacon. 



Appledore. — On the high land about half a mile north of the town is a much mutilated tump 

 of earth, marked on maps Mill Hill. Though a windmill may have occupied the 

 summit it is not likely that it was necessary to throw up earth for such a building, 

 and we must consequently include the mount among the tumuli of Kent. 



Barham. — There is a very large number, estimated by some at over 300, of barrows on Barham 

 Downs and Breach Downs. [See Hasted's Hist, of Kent, iii. 752-53.] 



BisHOPSBOURNE. — Large tumulus, said to contain stone cists, in Gorsley Wood. 



Blackheath. — Two tumuli, known as (i) Mortar Mount, and (2) Jack Cade's Mount. 



Bridge. — Three tumuli in Gorsley Wood. 



Chartham. — Numerous barrows (possibly Anglo-Saxon) on Chartham Downs, now ploughed up. 



Darenth. — Two tumuli at Green Street Green.

Eastry. — Two tumuli to the east of earthwork at Shingleton.
