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’.
Medieval pits, ditches and postholes. The pits only contained three fragments of peg tile, two sheep/goat teeth, and three sherds of pottery. The ditches also contained similar pottery. Because of the small amounts of pottery, they may be residual. The scatter of postholes do not seem to represent any structures, except a possible small rectangular structure sited near to the corndrier. The corndrier was keyhole-shaped with the circular pit measuring 3m in diameter, with a flue of 1.2m extending to the SE. Finds suggest an 11th-13th century date. (1)
