A collection of artefacts was recovered from Groom Way, Lenham (c.2014-15). Information on the exact location, and nature of the finds was not provided in the report.

Roman Pottery sherds were found in a possible Roman ditch at Groom Way, Lenham. Finds include C1-C2 Samian ware pot sherds, Roman roof tile and mortar fragments, a fragment of Roman window glass, and a collection of 1st to 3rd Century sandy ware and grog ware sherds. The other finds included: a piece of sarsen stone, shaped and worn as if used to sharpen metal knives as a honing stone. It also had an iron encrusted slot, perhaps for attatchment to an iron rod; an undated suspected bone sewing needle, a hob nail from a Roman shoe and a 'large' number of oyster shells (photographs of 7 are included in the report).
No exact location was provided for the finds within the report.

The author references the possibility of a Roman bath house close to the site but no further information was available. (1)

A document detailing the excavation of a soakaway on a site adjacent to Groom Way (2014) appears to be associated with the finds report. During the excavation of a soakaway a V-shaped ditch was uncovered. The ditch contained a number of finds from 1st to 3rd Century mixed together.
The location of the ditch and the associated finds has been estimated based on this document. (2)
