Full Description
[Marginal] Three or four arrowheads, a polished celt and a scraper were found in 1871 on the surface of a tumulus at Tebbs Farm, Ightham. The tumulus showed signs of having been previously disturbed. (1) Nothing was known of these finds or their present whereabouts at Tebb's Copyhold, formerly Tebb's Farm. Much of the farmland has been sold and worked for sand, and no traces of a tumulus were seen. Enquires of the Marley Tile Company, sandpit owners, were negative. (2)
