Ford Manor Gravel Pit
These deposits mapped as head are actually stratified sands and gravels of the 100ft terrace of the east Kent river Stour, a number of Palaeoliths were found in these gravels in the period 1920 -1950 by the co-founder of the Heren Bay Museum Dr Tom Armstrong Bowes. The terrace gravels here are bedded on the Eocene Thanet Sands.
