Monument record TQ 96 SE 1 - The Archbishop's Palace, Teynham

Summary

A substantial masonry building complex was revealed during ground levelling just to the south of St Mary's Teynham, associated with early medieval pottery and decorated floor tiles. This may be the site of the Archbishop's Palace of Teynham, although historical records have suggested a site to the north of the Church.
