A Lower / Middle Palaeolithic Levallois core was discovered during investigation of a terrace gravel outcrop at Whitehouse Farm as part of the Medway Valley Palaeolithic Project in 2005 (1). It was found in TP 9, within a well-developed fluvial gravel deposit about 2m below the ground-surface, the gravel being about 1.7m thick and resting on Thanet Sand bedrock at c. 42.50m OD.
