This site (N.G.R. TQ. 559.686) lies within Westminster Sports-field about 500m south-west of the parish church at Horton Kirby, a small village south of Dartford in West Kent. The site occupies a low mound in the centre of the flood-plain of the Darent Valley, close to the west bank of the present River Darent. The subsoil is river gravel and alluvium and the elevation about 24m O.D. The site lies some 5km south of the Roman arterial road, later known as Watling Street and about 1.5km north-east of an important Roman building at Farningham.
