Abstract: |
It was observed that in a number of instances, gardens were lower than the adjacent road. From this, it seemed likely that the line of certain roads in the town had been raised over the years. Other areas appeared to be artificially high in comparison to the surrounding land and there seemed little doubt that this was a reflection of the ground being made up when new buildings were erected. The contour map produced in 2003 highlighted the presence of a well-defined ridge occupying the south-eastern side of Sandwich. It may now be seen that the sinuous, winding streets believed to be associated with the earliest Anglo-Saxon settlement ran across the main ridge of higher ground to the river. Their course seemed to be influenced by the contours of the ridge. [Au(adp)] |
