DUNGENESS

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 680 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DUNGENESS , a promontory of the south coast of England, in the south of Kent, near the town of Lydd. It is a low-lying broad bank of shingle, forming the seaward apex of the
great
  level of the
Romney
  Marshes. Its seaward accretion is estimated at 6 ft. annually. Its formation is characteristic, consisting of a
series
  of ridges forming a succession of curves from a common centre. It is unique, however, among the
great
  promontories of the south coast of England, the accretion of
gravel
  banks falling into deep water contrasting with the cliff-bound headlands of the North Foreland, Beachy Head and the Lizard, and with the low eroded Selsey Bill, off which the sea is shallow. A light-
house
  (500 55' N., 0 58' E.) stands on the ness, which has been the scene of many shipwrecks, and has been lighted since the time of James I. There are also here Lloyds' signalling station, coast-guard stations, and the terminus of a branch of the South-Eastern & Chatham railway.
The name Dungeness has also been applied elsewhere; thus the point on the north side of the eastern entrance to
Magellan
  Strait is so called, and there is a town of Dungeness near a promontory on the coast of Washington, U.S.A. (Strait of Juan de Fuca).
