During the laying of foundations for a house a large quantity of pottery was encountered. During the subsequent excavations by Maidstone Museum staff more pottery was removed from the site. Dated to the 13th century this assemblage is mainly composed of waste material. There were no traces of a kiln found during the excavations buit a large quantity of ash and charcoal was encountered. This evidence is taken as clear proof that there was a medieval pottery kiln industry in this area. It is also suggested that the area, Potters corner may derive its name from this industry, although it may also be linked to the name of a local 17th family. The finds are now in Maidstone Museum. A number of Mesolithic flint flakes have also been found at this site on the surface of sand.
