During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009 - 2011), in Zone 3 - Neolithic material was listed in this area approximately 12 times on the basis of the presence of Bullhead flint, abraded striking platforms and 16 blades which are relatively rare compared to flakes. Re touched tools also provide a strong indication of earlier activity including an unstratified Neolithic microdenticulate made on a blade of a bullhead flint from sub soil and two residual leaf arrowheads, both apparently broken in manufacture, one from an early Bronze Age monument and the other from a Medieval ditch. Less certainly dated but none the less likely to include Neolithic material were 12 scrapers. (information summarised from sources) (1-2)
