Aspects of Kentish Local History

that has been found is a pottery aquamanile. These jugs were copied from those of bronze which date from the late twelfth to the fourteenth century.
   The few other objects that have turned up include keys, knives, nails and rings, bronze strap ends, scraps of brass and copper, a mass of melted lead, and two well-made spindle whorls. Seven of the finds are illustrated on Plate II. The Tertiary sandstone was found an efficient material for the larger hones. One imported schist hone has been found. Broken tiles when chipped into rough disks came in useful as pieces for such a game as shovel-board. Their average diameter is from 1 5/8 ins. to 2 1/4 ins.

                                 APPENDIX.
In Part I of this paper (A.C., LIII (1940), 70) an account was given of the composition of the Stonar shingle bank. Among the flint boulders and pebbles, its natural constituent, occur certain derived materials from the beds at and above the junction with the chalk to the north. These are tabular and green-coated flint, indurated lime-cemented sandstone, silicified wood and cemented chalk breccia. But far more interesting than any of these are the erratics of quartz, quartzite, and igneous and altered rocks which are far travelled. Their occurrence presupposes an antiquity for this isolated deposit far greater than the coastal beaches. The attached Report deals with certain of these foreigners and their composition; and suggests one stage in their origin.
