I've moved Countless stones into the Medway group. But I wonder, are these sites actually IN Medway ? The map boundary is accurate, at least to an OS level, and the Mod Ant book mentions Kit's Coty in a 'Kent mist'.

The book also lists Little Kit's Coty as just that but sometimes refers to it as just Kit's Coty. It also refers to the Countless Stones as 'Lower Kit's Coty House'.

For site purposes, I'm happy to change it to just Kit's Coty if that gets the vote.

I _think_ there is a sign nearby it that just says Kit's Coty. With Little Kit's Coty being the Countless stones...

The Medway group are all in the vicinity of the Medway valley, but they fall outside of the area called Medway on the Techno Map Browser. I'm not local, so I'm not sure what the Medway area (on the map) represents. Is it a district?

When I visited the Chestnuts & Addington, Joan Bygrave (the owner) implied that these two sites are echoed by Kit's Coty and Countless Stones on the other side of the Medway Valley. She argued that there may have been a connection between these two clusters of sites, with the Medway representing a boundary between two groups of people.

Not sure how useful this is, but there you go.
