Researchers from UCL Archaeology South-East have found some of the largest early prehistoric stone tools ever discovered in Britain, including enormous foot-long hand axes.

In total 800 stone artefacts have been uncovered from the dig in Kent. The objects were buried in material that filled a sinkhole and an ancient river channel and they are more than 300,000 years old.

The area under excavation in Kent is a hillside above Medway Valley, which is made up of deep ice age sediments. Watch the video to learn more about this exciting discovery!
