A post-medieval chalk pit was identified at London Road, Sittingbourne during an evaluation in 2017. The quarry is visible on the 2nd edition OS map (1897-1900). Artefacts recovered from the fill of the quarry comprised "mostly mid-late nineteenth century and typical of many Victorian and Modern-period deposits – fragments of mid nineteenth century table and bedroom wares - pale blue, standard deeper blue, black or green transfer-printed plates, basins or ewers, a few fragments of the latter type just plain white with mould-decorated rims, few pieces of pantry and kitchen Staffordshire/Derby Yellow Ware and a fragment of a James Keiller, Dundee, marmalade pot" (from the original report, 1).
