The Bronze Age Mount
The Bronze Age Mount
Their memory lives on.
There is clear evidence of a Bronze Age bowl-barrow, now obscured by vegetation, high on Otford Mount. This 7 metre diameter chalk barrow, now much eroded, was likely created by our earliest ancestors between 2,500-1,000BC during the central Bronze Age. In 1970, a cinerary urn (made for holding people’s ashes) was discovered, a metre underground, further down the Mount, behind a home in Greenhill Road. The British Museum identified the urn as being made c1,400-1000BC.
