Rims of nine pots recently found with other fragments of pottery in Wansunt Gravelpit, Dartford Heath, were examined by Mr. A. S. Kennard, on the occasion of the visit to the pit, in 1907, of the Geologists' Association, and he considered them to be of Late Celtic (ElA) and RB, whilst some pieces might possibly be of BA, manufacture. All have been presented to Dartford Museum. [Included is a detailed description of the pottery: see Illustrations Card.] Lumps of clay showing impressions of twigs, etc., were also found. About a year before these discoveries, Mr. A. L. Leach and the writer found a hearth from which was recovered part of a rough hand-made earthenware pot, about 7 or 8 inches high by 10 inches diameter, fragments of charcoal and bones, and "pot-boilers". Mr. Kennard considers this pot to belong to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. (1) Dartford Museum, contrary to Authority 1's statement, possess no finds from this site. (2) Wanshunt or Buckley's Pit is centred at TQ 513737. (For bronze age and pa. finds from it, see TQ 57 SW, 23, 24 & 25.) (3) The pit has been long disused and is heavily overgrown. (4)
