During the cutting of a service trench in July 1999 at Wye approximately 3kg of Roman brick and tile were discovered. Of the various types of building materials four different fabrics were identified as being similar to types from kilns at Canterbury, Wye, and also paralleled in London. Further reports of finds some 100m to the north west and also to the south west indicate that there was a substantial occupation site or area of activity in the area during the Roman period, probably linked to the advantageous position on a low hill overlooking the Stour.
