[Area centred TQ 63005784] A letter of Benj. Harrison, 12.5.1914, tells of a visit to Windmill Hill in order to examine a plantation where some 30 arrowheads had been found by a youth in the preceding months. "From the paucity of flakes and cores I took the place to be a site to which animals resorted for water". (1) Windmill Hill is a prominent sand knoll covered by a dense plantation on its lower slopes and undergrowth and gorse on its upper slopes. E. Harrison is now dead and no further information on site was gained; none of the arrowheads are held at Maidstone Museum. (2) Note by Benj. Harrison 30 12 1888. To Gallows Hill. On the lower spread near the level crossing I found a portion of an implement. Examined knoll, north of rectory: a few pieces of flint were seen, and ochreous fragments on south-west flank. (Gallows Hill is another name for Windmill Hill). (3)
