was made in the reign of Henry VII, and therefore is not Roman, as Leland and others surmised. The barrows on the high land east of St. Margaret’s in all probability are not Roman. [Ibid. and Stukeley, Itin. (1724). p. 120.] A small Roman urn was found embedded in the chalk near St. Margaret’s Bay. [Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. viii (1853), 361.] See also Martin Mill.
   ST. MARY CRAY.—Villa, see p. 124.
   ST. PAUL’S CRAY.—Roman tiles have been noticed in the church, but it is not of Roman construction, as suggested by one writer. [Gent.’s Mag. 1841, i, 365; hence Dunkin, Hist. Dartford (1844), P. 450.]
   ST. PETER’S, THANET.—A large amphora was found in this parish, and perhaps may be connected with the finds from Northdown, Margate. [Arch. Cant. xii, 17.] Skeletons with pottery showing strong late Celtic influence, but of the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. and Samian ware, with two first-century brooches, were found in brickfields at Rumfields between 1898 and 1908. [Arch. lxi, 437, P1. lviii.] See Margate.
   SALTWOOD.—Building, see p. 124. A cinerary urn, 12 in. high, with a cover, and a red earthen amphora were found at Saltwood, some time before 1874. [Folkestone Town Museum; Arch. Cant. x, proc. p. xli.]
   SANDOWN.—See Deal.
   SANDWICH.— A ‘large brass image of a cock’ was dug up here. [Planché, Corner of Kent (1864), p. 19.] About 1849 a denarius of Caligula was found at St. Bartholomew’s, and an aureus of Carinus (Cohen, 172) was found here about 1846. [Journ. Brit. Arch. Assoc. v, 337; ii, 1847, 336.] In the Mayer Collection in Liverpool Free Public Museum are fragments of Samian pottery and a lamp, all marked ‘Sandwich.’ For the identification with Lapis Tituli, see above, pp. 28, 168. See also Deal and Richborough.
   SARRE.—Potsherds, and coins made into weights for scales, have been found in the Saxon cemetery here as at Gilton and Ozingell, but do not therefore indicate its use as a burial place in the Roman period. [Arch. Cant. vi, 184, No. cxxxi; 161, No. xxvi; vii, 312, No. ccxxxviii.]
   SEAL.—A Roman cemetery is said to have been found on One Tree Hill, but no details have been recorded. [Payne, Coll. Cant. (1893), p. 189.]
   SEASALTER.—Roman key of somewhat elaborate workmanship from churchyard. Proc. Soc. Antiq. (Ser. 2), ii, 201.]
   SELLING.—The earthwork on Shottenden Hill is probably not Roman.
   SHARFLEET CREEK.—See Upchurch and Industries, p. 132.
   SHELLNESS POINT.—See Industries, p. 128.
   SHEPHERDSWELL or SIBERTSWOLD.—The 6-in. Ordnance Survey map [Sheet No. xvii, S.E.] marks ‘Celtic, British, Saxon and Roman remains’ from barrows in Golgotha Wood, about half a mile north-east of the village. The objects from Shepherdswell in the Mayer Collection at Liverpool are not Roman.
   SHOOTER’S HILL.—A hut pit, roughly circular, 6 ft. in diameter, with vertical sides, 18 in. deep, was found in 1923 in the gravel when making a road for a hospital on the top of the hill, and south of the London Street. Its bottom consisted of a 6 in, layer of burnt potsherds, flints, animal bones, charcoal and clay; above it a later pit had been dug, some 8 ft. to 9 ft. in diameter and about 9 in. deep, the clay floor of which was likewise covered with a burnt layer. The pottery from both was of much the same date, one vessel being a ‘first-century bead—rim type of olla.’ By the pit was a shallow ditch, 10 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep. This is possibly a hut. [Antiq. Journ, v, 175.] Cf. the pit at Charlton, see Industries, pp. 101, 129.
   SHORNE.—Many remains have been found near Hoo Junction, especially in the ballast pit close to Uralite Halt and 1¼ miles north-west of Higham Station. [Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. iv, 406; Arch. Cant. xi, 117.] For a potter’s oven, see p. 130. Roman pottery, including two Samian dishes, was found behind the Uralite Works in 1924. [Rochester Naturalist, No. 130, vi, 50.] Two cremation burials with locally-made pottery were found in 1907 opposite the Uralite Works. [Arch. Cant. xxviii, proc. p. xc, fig.] An early fibula with urns from a burial place near here is figured by C. R. Smith, Antiq. of Richborough, pp. 80, 81; Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. iv, 406. A coin of Marcus from the ballast pit is in Rochester Museum. A curious structure, oval in shape, and 5 ft. in diameter and 3 ft. 8 in. high, found ‘near the line of the North Kent Railway,’ described both like a tile tomb from Allington (q.v.) and as a kiln, is probably the latter (see under Industries, p. 130, no 5), and is so described in the, British Museum Guide to the Antiq. of Rom. Britain, p. 113. [Arch. Cant. xi, 115, illustration.] See also Higham. For an inscribed stone in Maidstone Museum, see p. 137.
   SIDCUP.—A small bronze figure, perhaps of Bacchus with the fawn skin of Hercules, was found in digging the foundations of a house about 1897. Arch. Journ. liv, 120; hence Antiq. xxxiii, 122.]
