Landslides in the Lower Greensand escarpment in south Kent

Bromhead, E. N. / Hopper, A. C. / Ibsen, M.-L.

Abstract The escarpment of the Lower Greensand in south and central Kent is extensively landslipped. The paper describes the landslips in general but concentrates on those parts of the escarpment which form the abandoned coastal cliffs, now protected from marine attack by Romney Marsh. In particular it considers the investigation of a set of landslips near Hythe, Kent, which form part of an extensive landslide complex re-activated at the time of the 1988 wet period. The rainfall patterns for the area are discussed and related to the landslide events. New insights into the nature of the historic damage to the third century fort known as Stutfall Castle are considered.
