TQ621566 In 1968/69 a proton magnetometer survey was carried out in a field at St Marys Platt which due to the vast scatter of wasters was thought likely to have been a kiln site for Wrotham pottery. No anomalies were detected in the survey and test holes revealed no features. Undulation in a nearby but inaccessible orchard suggest, however, that the kiln might be there. Numerous sherds mainly of coarse cooking pots were found. (1) A field scatter was collected by D.Garrod, Field officer, KARU, 4/2/86 at Kingshill Farm (TQ 6182 5589) (2)

The area was known as Glasyers fields from the late 15th century. This may have been related to glazing of pottery. (3)
