Sarson stones, Esplanade
Sarson stones, Esplanade submitted by Hengerunner : Final angle towards Rochester Castle, 3 erratic sarsons taken 6th December 2020 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two sarson stones laying in the grass just down from Bakers Walk, along the Esplanade going away from the Castle. In Castles in Kent by David Waldron Smithers (1980, 0905540298), it is suggested the two stones are the remains of a megalithic structure that once crowned Boley Hill where Rochester Castle now stands.
