[TQ 833 647] In November 1961 the concrete floor of a disused pig-sty at No. 3 Spade Lane, Hartlip caved in to reveal a denehole 24ft. deep with double-trefoil chambers. The shaft was approximately 3ft in diameter. It was explored by J. Caiger and H. A. N. Berry before being filled in. All the chambers bore many pick mark indentations but no datable material was found. (1) The site of this denehole was pointed out at TQ 8313 6458 by the farm tenant. At TQ 8321 6475 a denehole appeared early this year (1963) whilst the farmer was ploughing. The shaft is about 1.5 metres in diameter and 8.0 metres in depth; one chamber is partly visible. Surveyed at 1:2500. (2) [TQ 8315 6458] Denehole [NR] (site of) [NAT] [TQ 8321 6477] Denehole [NR] (3)
