- (82:9) "from Reakys Over down to Roaming Rune ... that wer the day the Ram be come a nylan"
Technically, Ramsgate is already on an island, the Isle of Thanet, which is separated very slightly from the rest of Kent by the Stour River and the Wantsum Channel (the latter was a major waterway in Roman days, but is now very small). Reakys Over and Roaming Rune are near the endpoints of the dividing line.
