The Pottery Field
Discovery of local industry.
In Wickham Field, off Pilgrim’s Way West, the Otford & District Historical and Archaeological Group discovered fifty-seven circular pits of burnt earth and ashes. Initially, they surmised that they were a whole series of rubbish pits as many contained fragments (shards) of pottery, burnt clay and ash.
