[TR 188437] Seven palaeolithic implements (6 Middle Acheulian and 1 Levallois but all probably contempory) were picked up on the surface of a ploughed field on the south-west side of Standardhill Farm, 0.75 miles east of Elham Church. (1)

These implements are not in the Canterbury or Folkestone Museums: they have probably been retained by Tester. (2)

These finds reported by Tester are probably held by Canterbury Museum (catalogued in c. 2010 under Box 9, C4), contra previous para. Recorded by Roe in the 1960s, then listed in the Southern Rivers Project in the 1990s (4, 5, 6).
