Findspot record TQ 64 SW 2 - Prehistoric axes, Bassett's Farm, Pembury
Summary
A hoard of three flint axes of Neolithic or early Bronze Age date were found accidentally in 1950 during digging near Bassett's Farm. There were no usage marks and they were discovered a long distance from the nearest source of material. On this basis it was suggested that they were buried for later usage, possibly even a traders hoard.
