Findspot record TR 36 SW 11 - Bronze Age founder's hoard, Ebbsfleet Farm, Minster parish
Summary
A late Bronze Age founder's hoard was discovered in January 1893 on a farm at Ebbsfleet, near Minster. The hoard consisted of 181 weapons and implements and these are now held in the British Museum. A further number of socketed axes, spearheads, and winged axes were previously on exhibition in the Royal Museum, Canterbury. These finds are reported as 'from the Ebbsfleet hoard' however there appears to be little information to support this statement. The exact location of this findspot is uncertain and no furrther information about its discovery was available.
