Dartford and District Archaeological Group newsletter of Autumn 1976 has a report on excavations at Darenth Park Hospital. The report refers to "another Hospital site", at which cropmarks were investigated and it was proved that circular ditches lay under the topsoil. I can find no other references to this unknown Hospital location - RCHME Excavation Index appears to have been able to site this as Joyce Green Hospital. (a) (1) Joyce Green Hill (cropmark). TQ 5474 7573. (2) Area fenced off and overgrown, unable to gain access in 2005 (3)
