Extract

I Have much pleasure in bringing before the notice of the Society some ancient remains, very recently discovered at Stowting, in the county of Kent.

If I am not mistaken, they will be admitted to possess considerable interest, by reason of the circumstances under which they were brought to light, having been, without loss of time, noted and authenticated; the objects themselves preserved and delineated; and because they afford evidence to warrant classification and appropriation, and confirm the correct arrangement of similar remains found frequently in the same county, as well as in other parts of England.
