Monument record TR 36 NE 72 - Neolithic scrapers and floor, Stone House School, Broadstairs and St. Peters
Summary
A possible Neolithic occupation site was found during excavations in the grounds of Stone House School prior to 1971. A band of clay some 13m wide was found apparently passing diagonally across the field. A "floor" or layer of knapped flints was found within this. Neolithic scrapers were found in this layer, but there were no traces of post holes. A polished Neolithic axe head was found elsewhere in the grounds and it is thought that an extensive settlement site dating from Neolithic to Roman times was excavated here between 1905 and 1971.
