Abstract
'The Bone Yard' ; A Preliminary Note on Excavations at Temple Hill, ...
Lee Prosser
1 - 2
An investigation was undertaken by Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust at the site of St Edmund's Church, Dartford. Originally constructed in 1955, the church was being rebuilt on a larger scale. The key area of archaeological features revealed during excavation comprised a dense palimpsest of ditches and pits; several lines of post-holes were also identified and may yet prove to be the remains of dwellings or structures. Although much of the pottery recovered was of handmade coarsewares that could have been of Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon date, some Iron Age vessels were identified. A small amount of Roman material was also recovered. In addition, forty-five individuals from an Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery were excavated, although local conditions meant that few were well-preserved. Some initial observations are made on the characteristics of the population. LD
The Place Name Riverhead & its Implications
6 - 7
The place name 'Riverhead' derives from Old English and means 'cattle wharf'. This article examines the evidence that a site of this name close to the source of the River Darent was formerly the site of a quay, perhaps dating to Roman or Anglo-Saxon times. In addition to place-name evidence, unpublished accounts of a level grass 'platform', a study of banks and hedgerows, historical evidence for the economic importance of the area, archaeological evidence of Roman activity, and the presence of a parish boundary coinciding with the 'platform' are all considered. A planning application to build on an area adjacent to the 'quay line' has been made; the article recommends that if the application is successful, it would be prudent to maintain an archaeological watching brief at the site.

The Wychurst Project; Creating a Late Saxon Environment
15
The Wychurst Project is based in woodland adjacent to the Wildwood Discovery Park near Canterbury. Here Regia Anglorum, a re-enactment group, are reconstructing a defensive manorial burgh from the late Anglo-Saxon period. So far they have constructed a ditch and rampart around an acre of land and have built a sunken-featured building and an oak-framed artisan's cottage outside this area. Within the defensive rampart, construction of a longhall has begun. It is intended that Regia Anglorum will display examples of the crafts, agriculture and animal husbandry of the time, as well as battle displays. LD
