Hi, I'm part of a local archaeological research team collectively known as WKD Archaeology. We have several sites in and around the Tunbridge Wells area, including Southhborough and High Brooms. Our aim is to find, record and publish research on new archaeological sites in our area. To date we have excavated Kent's oldest recorded Bloomery Furnace (primitive iron production in Brokes Wood) dated to around 340BC! as well as several areas of significant prehistoric activity in the Southborough valley. More recently we uncovered evidence for an iron age site near Forge Farm as well as a 15th C. Forge. All our research is freely available and anyone with an interest in our local heritage feel free to get in contact.
