On the eastern side of Whitehill Road three parallel ditches orientated north to south were recorded, but all were all undated. These were later recut two ditches, which may represent a droveway. The droveway was subsequently reshaped to form a boundary ditch. A sherd of pottery from the boundary ditch backfill is dated to the 17th century. The three phases of use may imply that the ditches were associated with road which was originally of medieval date. This was probably the original Whitehill Road, which was probably re-aligned with the construction of the Gravesend West Railway [1]
