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.
