[TQ 5367 7438] Iron Age Site, County Hospital, DARTFORD. "Two urns (probably) found by Mr. Oliver, Chief Gardener at County Hospital, about 1932. Unfortunately relief gang destroyed urns, but Mr. Oliver retrieved three pieces, two of a thicker pot, one of a thinner pot. He gave the pieces to his son, thence to Mr. Hutt, who has loaned them to Mr. Pharaoh. Upon investigation, they proved to be Iron Age pottery, about 200 B.C., type new to Dartford. Investigation by Messrs. Cumberland & Priest." (a) [Siting taken from large accompanying drawing dated 10.10.38 and from a plan (Scale 40 feet to 1 inch) drawn by D. W.
