If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.

A small Roman pot was found in Palmer's Pit, Stone Court, and presented to the museum by Mrs. E.F. Pitcher. (1) Local enquiries revealed no knowledge of Palmer's Pit, but a large chalk pit, centred at TQ 5690 7470, which has not been worked for many years, is still remembered as 'The Palms' pit. Mrs. E.F. Pitcher could not be traced. The pot is probably in store in Dartford Museum among objects of unknown provenance (2). Site was referred to in a field report (3).
