XVI. Observations on the Roman Earthen Ware found in the Sea on the Kentish Coast, between Whistable and Reculver on the borders of the Isle of Thanet, by George Keate, Esq. F. R. and A.S. In a Letter to Sir Joseph Banks, Bart.

Extract

From an attentive perusal of a paper relating to the earthen ware abovementioned, and which was published in the last volume of the Archaeologla [a], it appears to have been the idea of the gentleman who delivered in that paper to our Society, that there had been a Roman pottery established near about the spot where so many earthen vessels, and fragments of vessels, are now from time to time dragged up by the fishermen of Whitstable, on a place which they have, in consequence of their discoveries, called the Pudding-Pan Sand, or Rock, situate, as I have always understood, between two and three miles from the shore.
