SITTINGBOURNE.—Settlement, see pp. 96—8.
   SLAY HILLS SALTINGS.—Potteries, see p. 132. Two hoards of jewellery have been found. (1) In an urn found about 1864 on the Saltings west of Greenborough Marshes, were a hinged silver torc, the decorated buffer-shaped terminals of another, two silver rings set with engraved stones, together with silver coins of Nero (1), Vespasian (2), Domitian (1), Trajan (3),. Hadrian (2), Pius (2), Marcus Aurelius (2), and Faustina Junior (2), and bronze coins of Pius and Crispina. The coins fix the date of the deposit about A.D. 180. The rings are of late 2nd-century type; the intaglios represent (i) Perseus holding up the Gorgon’s head, and (ii) a cock upon an ear of corn. Jewellery purchased by British Museum in 1894; the coins seem to have disappeared. [Payne, Coll. Cant. (1893), 74.] (2) The second hoard was found, surrounded by the charred wood of the casket which contained it, on the site of a Roman building (apparently destroyed by fire) in Slay Hills Saltings. It consists of silver bracelets with snake-head terminals, two bronze nail-charms, and a fused mass of silver rings, some set with engraved stones. The two intaglios still identifiable represent (i) Minerva, armed, with Victory on the outstretched palm of her hand, (ii) Fortune, with cornucopiae and steering rudder. No coins were found with this hoard, but the rings are of late 2nd-century type. The date of the find was before the publication of Payne’s Catalogue in 1882. [Payne Collection, British Museum, Nos. 32 1—6. Payne, Coll. Cant. (1893), 74—5. Brit. Mus. Guide to Antiq. of Rom. Britain (1922), pp. 64—5.] Mr. Peter Gray of Rainham has noticed wattle and daub on the saltings, and has found roofing tiles, and what seems to be the remains of walling. See also Upchurch.

   SMARDEN.—A coin of Faustina was found at Romden. [Journ. Brit. Arch. Assoc. xii (1856), 235.] Roman pottery found at Romden Place in 1913. [The Times., 26., Feb., 1913. Inf. from Mr. N.. C. Cook.]
   SNODLAND.—For the villa, etc., in Church Field, see p. 124. The barrow at Holborough, 93 ft. in diameter, was opened in 1844 by Thomas Wright. At the bottom was found a platform cut into the chalk, and on this a smooth artificial floor was laid; on this, again, lay a thin coating of ashes, among them long nails, potsherds showing the action of fire, and part of a Roman brooch, but no urns and apparently no bones were discovered.

   STOKE-IN-HOO.—At White’s Works, 150 yds. from the shore north-east of Lamhead Creek and opposite Burntwick Marsh, two rude red urns (one, 17 in. high, 41 in. circumference; the other, 7 in. high), both containing burnt bones, were dug out in 1890, with 4 Samian dishes, one stamped CRESIMI, and another with nearly, vertical sides and a plain flat rim an inch wide, a very shallow black saucer 7¾ in. diameter, and part of a 2-handled drab-coloured vase. [Soc. of Antiq. Proc., xiii, 189; Arch. Cant. xxi, proc. p. xlvii; Payne, Coil. Cant. (1893), p. 196, note.] The late Mr. G. M. Arnold had some pottery from here, mostly common ware.
   STONAR.—The 6-inch Ordnance Survey Map [Sheet No. xlviii N.E.], ‘accepting the unwarrantable identification of Camden (Britannia, 1607, p. 240) of a place mentioned in the Hist. Brit. (see above, p. 28), calls this place Lapis Tituli, and records Roman coins, urns, swords, axes, armour and human remains, south of the supposed town. Swords, urns, etc., and a stone coffin, all thought to be Roman, were found in reconstruction at Stonar House. [Ord. Surv. Name Books.] In Roman times there seems to have been a long narrow beach, west of the Stour, extending south-west from Pegwell and Minster, and terminating just north of Sandwich and the Stour, and thus forming a breakwater for Richborough harbour. (See pages 24 and 25.)
   STONE (near DARTFORD).—Coins have been found near the Lunatic Asylum and Wading Street. [Arch. Cant.. xviii.. 313.] Potters’ kiln. see p. 121.. Burials occurred near Stone Castle, south of the road from Dartford to Swanscombe and not far from Greenhithe, in 1902—1904. They included a group of 2 Upchurch urns, containing bones, one, 11¾ in. high, a red urn with bones, a jug, a small urn and bits of iron found at the head of a skeleton; another group of 2 jugs, one, 9½ in. high, containing bones, a small Samian vessel, 3¾ in. high, found near a skeleton; 2 Castor vases, one, 7¾ in. high, ornamented in white slip on a red ground. [Arch. Cant. xxvii, introd. pp. lxxix, lxxx, plate. Some in Dartford Museum.] A skeleton, and urns, etc. [Daily News, 21 Feb. 1907], as well as other cinerary urns, 7½ in. and 8½ in. high, were found, from 1½ ft. to 6 ft. below the surface, in 1907.
