Sarsen stone, Old Watling Street, Strood
This stone and another stand near the corner of Old Watling Street and the A1. Sarsens were formed in Miocene times by a process of siliceous cementation within pre-existing strata of fine quartz sandstones. Whereas the sandstones were in due course eroded, the much harder sarsens have survived and are still to be seen in North Kent and in many other parts of south-east England. The matter of how this stone acquired its smoothly rounded, convex surfaces remains unresolved. Were existing mamillary concretions cemented together to form the configuration seen here or was the latter the product of a single episode of cementation?
