EBBS-FLEET, a hamlet in Minster parish, Kent; on the coast, near the river Stour, ½ a mile W of the shore of Pegwell bay, and 3½ SW by W of Ramsgate. It formerly stood on a channel, now partly filled up, which went round the S side of Thanet, and formed the shortest water-route to the Thames; it was the Ipyids-flete of the Saxons; and it was the landing-place of Hengist and Horsa in 449, and of St. Augustine in 156.
