Majick123 visited on 1st May 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 The foot path lies along side the old church of St. Mary, Burham. The stone a good few hundred yards along the path, running alongside the river.
A stone set up as a memorial to the Battle of the Medway in 43 AD when British tribes under the command of Caratacus tried to halt the advancing Roman legions and failed.
