Prehistoric worked flints and pottery sherds were excavated at Bigbury Cottage, Canterbury during an evaluation in 2020.
21 fragment of worked flint dating between the late Neolithic and early Iron Age. One of the flints was an end scraper dating between the Neolithic and Beaker periods (4000-1750 BC), one was a well worked probable side scraper dating to the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age (4000-1550 BC). Many of the other flints at the site dated from the middle Bronze Age to the middle Iron Age (1550-350 BC), and appeared to have been created for largely practical/functional use.
14 fragments of prehistoric pottery dating to the late prehistoric period up to 0 BC. The sherds are described as "largely undiagnostic body sherds
which can only be broadly dated to the late prehistoric and all of which would not be out of place in the latest Iron Age 100BC to 0BC" (from the original report, 1).
The flints were distributed widely acrosss the site, and it is likely that all of this material was residual material redeposited as a result of Victorian quarrying. (1)
