Neolithic and Bronze Age 2 polished axes, barbed and tanged leaf-shaped arrowheads, scrapers etc. found on surface of Riddings Farm, Lenham, by F. Weeks Esq. Presented to Maidstone Museum. Acc. No. 30/1932. No concentrations found but implements scattered over the whole farm. (1) Mr. Weeks left the district and is believed, locally, to have died many years ago. The present owners of the farm knew nothing of the finds and have made no subsequent discoveries. A perambulation of the fields produced no further implements. (2)
