The Romano-British site, Wickham Court Farm is a Roman-era archaeological site in the London Borough of Bromley, situated south-east of West Wickham and south-west of Coney Hall. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The site
[edit]The site forms a roughly square shape and lies in a field on Addington Road, adjacent to St John The Baptist Church.[1] It lies on what was the London to Lewes Way in Roman times.[1] Archaeological digs were conducted on the site in 1962-66, 1976 and 1981, revealing pottery, coins and the remains of what may have been a blacksmiths workshop.[1] It was Scheduled on 25 July 1978.[1]
In 2009 a group of five men were cautioned by police after illegally using metal detectors on the site.[2]
