[TQ 549 747 Sited to Temple Hill Square] Human skeleton remains, found in front of old people's dwellings (flats and bungalows) which face south, the dwellings being situated just north of Temple Hill Square, Dartford. The skeletons were all lying horizontally in close proximity to each other in considerable numbers, indicating a place of burial. The only archaeological fragments found were unstratified pot sherds and tile fragments, not earlier than 17th Century. No use of the land for burial purposes within historic times has been noted and it is possible that the site is that of a series of plague burials. (1)
