Keycol Hill, Kent

Historical Description

Keycol Hill, an eminence in Newington parish, Kent, near Sittingbourne. It has been thought, but without conclusive proof, to have been a Roman station, and its name has been supposed, with still less reason, to be a corruption of Caii Collis, meaning " Cains Julius Caesar's Hill." Yet it is marked by many lines of ancient earthwork, and has yielded very many Roman urns.
