Article in the Independent

"Two metres beneath the Kent countryside, archaeologists have found the beginning of British history. Excavations at Richborough in east Kent have uncovered the original beach – now two and a half miles from the sea – where the Roman legions started their conquest of Britain almost 2,000 years ago. The site represents the moment Britain's prehistory ended and its history began."

Good news! I think I saw this one in another paper, or I might be getting it mixed up with a story about a mediaeval harbour in the same area which was built from the ruins of the Roman fort.

I realise that this is a fairly old thread, but i have to say that im shocked that bigger news was not made of this. Ignorance is a huge problem these days.
