(1) Mr Fraser indicated the findspot at "A" TQ 8829 4684, within a drainage channel which he was recutting at the time of discovery. In a later search of the area, sherds of Romano-British pottery were found in a heap of dredged material at "B", TQ 8849 6554, at the edge of a pond, and a few pieces of bloomery slag, identified by Mr I. D. Margary as Straker Type D, within two fields then under the plough in an area centred at TQ 8835 4670 (d). All the finds are in store at Maidstone Museum. No further finds are reported by Mr Fraser, and a search of the fields in the area revealed nothing further. (2)
