HACKENDON BANKS, a place on the NE coast of Kent; between Kingsgate and the North Foreland. Two large tumuli here were long regarded as the graves of Danes and Saxons, slain in a fierce battle on the spot; and they were opened, in 1745 and 1763, and found to contain numerous human remains. A circular tower, erected by Lord Holland, now marks the place; and has an inscription, giving the year 800 as the traditional date of the battle.
