Monument of Kits Coty House Described in 1827 Diary
In July 1827 a Lon don diarist details a journey with Mr West and Eliza to Chatham. He notes Kits Coty House near Boxley Hill, a megalithic monument with two nine ton slabs leaning toward each other and a central supporting slab. The method of raising the stones involved rollers and holes, with earth shrouding the structure as a ramp was removed. The piece argues the site predates 445 and possibly dates to the stone age, with a medieval name variant Kits City House referenced in Kent lore.
