A number of caves are located in chalk pits at Cheesemans Farm and Alland Grange. Some of the 14 caves show evidence of brick revettments, most likely the remains of shelters used in the first World War. The original purpose of these features is uncertain; originally thought to be deneholes this appears to be an inaccurate assessment of their character. The caves more likely were constructed as tunnels, as a later adaptation to the quarry. A local tradition reportedly connects them with smuggling, although information to further corroborate these stories is unavailable. Similar caves have been identified in disused chalk-pits at Woodchurch to the north (TR 36 NW 341) , and Mount pleasant to the south (TR 36 NW 337). Unfortunately these offer little clue as to their purpose as they are in very poor condition. Similar caves have also been identified at Margate and these are now though to be malt kilns (see TR 37 SE 39).
