Giant stone artefacts found on rare Ice Age site in Kent

Researchers in Kent have unearthed some of the largest early prehistoric stone tools ever found in Britain.

Excavations revealed artefacts in deep Ice Age sediments preserved on a hillside above the Medway Valley.

A total of 800 artefacts, thought to be more than 300,000 years old and buried in material which filled a sinkhole and ancient river channel were discovered.

Senior archaeologist Letty Ingrey said the discovery included a footlong hand axe almost too big to be handled.
