Local Archaeology in the Classroom: Ebbsfleet Case Study
Local Archaeology Case Study
By Melanie Jones, published 17th September 2013
The Ebbsfleet Valley in Kent, home of Ebbsfleet International station and the high speed rail link between London and Kent has a long history. The site is close to the old Roman road between Dover and London of Watling Street. It is close to the river mouth and once benefitted from pools fed by no less than 8 springs. People could easily sail up the Thames from the Ebbsfleet river and agricultural land was rich in the area. For this reason, it is thought to have been a settlement for thousands of years, and a probable site of religious significance in the past.
