Further Roman Finds in Kent
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2012
Extract
Some few hundred yards west of Minster church there is a small farm known as ‘Watchester’, a name which is significant and suggests the place has a Roman origin. Standing there and looking south over the flat expanse of the Minster Marshes, one can well imagine it the landing-place of vessels when the area was covered by the sea. Northwards from this village the road leading to Birchington is doubtless also Roman; almost at the top of the first hill, in digging graves in the modern cemetery, many fragments and complete vessels of pottery have for some years past been unearthed.
