From the report: "Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by Bretts Aggregates Ltd. to undertake an archaeological excavation at Charing Quarry, Hook Lane, Charing, Kent (Area 4a). The archaeological work was undertaken during February and March 2014. The earliest material encountered was a limited assemblage of possible Mesolithic flintwork recovered from later deposits. The first evidence of traceable alterations to the landscape were two Early Neolithic pits containing assemblages of pottery and flintwork. The next firmly datable episode of activity at the site consisted of the creation of a small Early Bronze Age cremation cemetery. Encountered features consisted of one urned and one unurned cremation with associated pits containing pyre debris. A group of gullies presenting two phases of medieval land division was also recorded. No datable material was recovered from the current site, although the gullies clearly form the continuation of a medieval field system encountered in an adjacent, previously excavated area of the quarry. In additional a medieval jeton was recovered from the topsoil. Post-medieval features included infilled irregular ditches as well as a small number of pits, and square post-holes interpreted as the bases of hop poles."
