Full Description

Excavations undertaken around the White Horse Stone site in the Medway Valley between Oct 1998-Mar 1999 by Oxford Archaeology. The site consisted of three areas along the CTRL line; from west to east: the ‘White Horse Stone site’, the ‘Pilgrim’s Way site’, and the ‘West of Boarley Farm site’.

Reduced activity in the late Bronze Age sees the presence of two pits containing cremated human remains on the Pilgrim’s Way site, and a pit containing a large amount of pottery in the SW corner of the White Horse Stone site. A number of small undated cremated deposits could also date to this period. (1)
