Full Description
"Swanscombe Park. On either side of what is considered to have been the course of Watling Street, where crosses a steep hill a mile south of Swanscombe, some 300ft. above sea level, are traces of banks and ditches which have been thought to indicate a camp, but the outlines are too vague and indefinite to warrant the assumption." [A.Ps. negative.] (1) Much of the area concerned has been destroyed during the construction of a new motorway. A search of the undisturbed ground to N. and S. was negative. (2)
