THAMES RIVER.—Off Purfleet, box tiles; off Dartford Creek, box tiles and an earthen pipe; off North fleet bones, etc.; off Broadness Creek, Swanscombe, a tile. [G. M. Arnold’s. Collection.]
   THANET.—Remains of various kinds, but chiefly burial, have been found at Birchington, Westgate, Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Minster, Quex, St. Lawrence, St. Peter’s, North Foreland,, Pegwell and Ozingell, in this island, but no definite foundations of buildings have ever been recorded. There is no doubt that the coast of this island, as of the mainland to the south by Deal, was populated by fisher or other folk in the Roman period as it was in the period just before the invasion. The name of Thanet in Roman days and later was Tanatus or Tanatis. [Solinus, 22, 8; Bede, Hist. Eccles. (Plummer, ed i, 45), i, 25; Isidor Hisp. Hist. Or, xiv, 6, 3.] Ptolemy (ii, 3), according to one reading, gives Toliatis or even Toliapis, but this his editor, C. Muller (Didot, 1883, p. 106), regards as an error for Tanatis, or at least Tonatis. The Ravennas cosmographia (Parthey and Pinder, 483, 4) gives the name as Taniatide.
   THORNHAM.(THURNHAM)—Villa, one mile from the foot of the hill, see p. 125. Roman urns and other remains are marked on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey map [Sheet No. xxxii, SW.] at Thurnham Castle. [Ireland, Hist. of Kent (1828), iii, 119, records very vaguely Roman urns, etc., found about this hill.]
   TILMANSTONE—A rubbish pit, with potsherds, bones and oyster shells, was found in a field north of the church in 1916 on the property of Mr. H. E. H. Rice. [Inf. from Mr. N. C. Cook.]

   UPCHURCH.—Potteries, see p. 132. Villa, see Boxted, Lower Halstow, Slay Hills Saltings, on the west bank of Sharfleet Creek, near Burntwick. A cemetery on the high land at the head of Otterham Creek on the west side contained burnt bones and a coin of Pius. [Brit. Arch, Assoc. Journ. ii, 133.] Other burials have also been recorded. In a field south-west of Upchurch a funeral deposit, including a Samian saucer stamped CATVSF. [Arch. xxix, 223; Brit. Arch. Assoc. as above.] Two cups, three Samian paterae, a small square glass bottle with a handle 4 in. high and a fine long-necked vessel with a flanged rim 9⅞ in. high, ‘ornamented with five rows of white spots and showing traces of green glaze,’ found in a field called Woodoaks, at Ham Green, 1½ miles from Green Street, formed part of a second interment. [Arch. Cant. xxii, proc. p. lii.] Near the well or buildings in Slay Hills Marsh, a burial occurred at a depth of 3 ft., consisting of the lower half of a large urn with burnt bones, and, at a distance of a few yards, 2 Upchurch urns, 5 in. to 6½ in, high, a Samian patera of 7 in. diameter, stamped TRITVS, and a cup, 4 in. diameter, stamped FELIX SAXAM . . . [Proc. Soc. Antiq. xv, 42.] Large quantities of pottery of all kinds have been found in the marshland; it is impossible to notice each discovery.

   WALMER.—A cemetery was found in digging chalk for lime burning on the high ground adjoining the waterworks at Mill Hill. Casual discoveries, including Saxon relics about 50 ft. from the Roman cemetery, have been made from time to time in the same area. The graves were cut into the chalk, and appeared to be arranged in a semicircle. At least three urns contained calcined bones; the pottery vessels included urns of ‘ Upchurch’ ware, and of brown and red pottery, and a fine Samian bowl (form 29), 10 in. in diameter, which had been broken in ancient times and mended with lead rivets, the rivet holes still remaining. The pottery of both sites is now in Deal Museum. [Arch. Cant. xxvi, 9, xxxi, 283; Arch. Journ. x, 107.] More pottery of an early date has recently been found, as well as discoveries of the immediate pre-Roman period.. A cemetery containing cordoned urns and other pottery of that date and a glass 2-handled urn was found in 1901—2 in the garden of Walmer Lodge near the Castle Meadow and just above the shore, in Lower Walmer. [Arch. Cant. xxv, i ff; Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. vii, N.S. 258 ff..] On the site of the church at Upper Walmer a trench, 50 ft. long, running N. and S., was found in 1886 to contain 2 skulls and an Upchurch vessel. [Arch. Cant. xvii, 4.] Pottery has also been found in a gravel pit west of Hawkshill Farm. [Inf. from Mr. N. C. Cook.] See also Ripple and Deal.
