More information : Additonal large Roman building and a bath-house at Darenth excavated 1969. (1)

The excavated area, centred at TQ 5628 7050, was afterwards filled in, and the site not yet encroached upon by the gravel workings, presents an area of disturbed black soil containing dense concentrations of Roman brick and tile, flints and stone, with a scatter of sherds and oyster shells. Site surveyed at 1:2500. (2)
