During the East Kent Access Route excavations an elongated tree throw lay to the south east of the northern patch of soil. A cluster of struck Bullhead flint was present in the southern end of the feature and consisted of 550 pieces of flaking waste and 367 pieces of micro debitage, also in mint condition and evidently in situ knapping waste for probable early Neolithic date. The upper part of the assemblage looks to have been truncated by ploughing. There was a large quantity of broken material and very few re touched pieces, and cores were also under represented. This further confirms the industrial nature of the assemblage (information summarised from source) (1-2)
