An
archaeological dig at a Roman fort in Sandwich has uncovered evidence
of the Roman coastline – two miles inland from where it is today.
Experts
from English Heritage have been carefully examining the fort as part of
a month-long excavation project that is nearing its conclusion.
They
have also discovered the remains of a 90-metre long stretch of
collapsed wall as well as Roman coins and fragments of Italian marble
dating back to the first century AD.
