Nuclear Power Stations in a Warming World by Dennis Leggett
FIG 2	There is evidence for this suggestion of the Roman shoreline. Pollen from buried peat, the distribution of Bronze, Iron and Roman artifacts, support the concept of a gravel bank protecting salt marshes. Yet the ruins of Stutfall Fort near Hythe, and Roman remains in this area show the presence of a port. The salt marsh and open sea water distributions indicated, reflect this information. The bank would have been sited to seaward of the present shore because remnants of very ancient woodland have been found offshore from Pett Level. But it must be remembered that no gravel has been found on the sea bed.
