Roman Kent

Two thousand years ago Thanet was cut off from the mainland by the Wantsum, a river or arm or sea stretching from the Thames estuary, near Reculver on the north, to Pegwell Bay on the east, and probably a mile or two wide.

At the east end of the Wantsun the Romans created a haven (safe area) for their ships, protected from the sea by a growing bank of shingle, and at Richborough (Rutupiae) they constructed a fortress.
