is, Mr. Crawford has ascertained, substantially correct. South-east of Beach House, Benenden, Mr. Crawford found iron-slag on the line of the road; and ¼ mile further eastward he found the causeway, a bank of slag and ironstone, high, and well preserved, and with a rut on the north side Worn by traffic.
   Mr. Ernest Straker, who examined the slag, points out that it is of an unusual type, up to the present occurring only at Saxonbury Camp with La Tène III pottery,¹⁷  and at Dry Hill Camp; it must therefore be regarded as pre-Roman, but instances are known (as at Alfoldean) where the Romans used the slag from earlier ironworks for road material.
   The line of the road then runs (as indicated on the O.S. maps) by Goddard’s Green, through Uppergate Wood, where Mr. Crawford again found iron slag and noted a hollow way on the south, to Bexhill Farm, Flight Wood, passing north of Park Gate to St. Michael’s. South of High Halden it reaches Plurenden Farm, passes north of Shadoxhurst to Stubcross Farm, and finally disappears 600 yds. south-west of Dennard’s Farm, Kingsnorth.
   But less than a mile away is a road running to the south-east; and Mr. Crawford has identified sufficient of the causeway to make it certain that the alignment may be produced from the sector at Bilham, marked on the 6-in. O.S. map (sheet LXV, S.W.) to a point between Millbank Place and Westbank Farm, Kingsnorth. From Bilham, it is surmised that the road ran by Cheeseman’s Green, then perhaps on the line of modern roads to Clap Hill, Aldington, Court-at-Street, and so to the fort at Lympne ; but the last sector has not been well identified.
   (4) LYMPNE—DOVER.—A road from Dover to Lympne is indicated in the Peutinger Table (P1. VI) and if the original Table is regarded as a work of the 3rd century, there is no difficulty in accepting the road as Roman in date, though there is a difficulty in describing its course. Mr. S. E. Winbolt suggests a road from Dover, up Stepping Down by Hougham to a point near the Roman villa at Folkestone, then onward by the edge of the cliffs by the Creteway, past the earthwork called Caesar’s Camp to Newington, Slaybrook, Pedlinge and Lympne; but, as Mr. Winbolt remarks, although Roman relics have been found close to this route at Saltwood and at Newington, it remains only a possibility. Apart from a brief reference by Codrington, nothing else seems to be known about the road.
   (5) THE COUNTY BOUNDARY R0AD.—The best attested Roman road in West Kent runs in a southerly direction from Beckenham towards Uckfield in Sussex, and it is followed for some part of its course by the county boundary. Here and there sections of the road are visible, and from these its general alignment can be made out, even though the road itself disappears for long stretches at a time. From Beckenham High Street it makes for Kelsey Manor, and passing east of Wickham Court, falls into alignment with the county boundary east of Castle Hill, about ¾ mile south of St. John the Baptish Church, West Wickham, and a mile south-east of Hayes. It so continues for 3 miles by Fairchildes School and Skidhill Lane, rising to a height of 600 ft. South west of Skidhill, a detour avoids a dip of over 100 ft. in the ascent. The alignment is resumed at Mollards Wood in Cudham Parish where Mr. Crawford observed a well-preserved causeway of rounded beach pebbles and large flints.
