A massive molar once found in the mouth of a woolly mammoth is going up for sale tomorrow.

The prehistoric tooth was found in a gravel pit in Ashford and is expected to go under the hammer for bids up to £50.

It is being sold by The Swan Fine Art at an online auction which begins at midday.

The lot is listed as being from the Pleistocene era, the geological epoch that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago.

Conningbrook Lakes, where a number of new homes have been built in recent years, has previously been described as one of the most important archaeological and palaeontological sites in the world and could have been the source of the find.

More than 20,000 prehistoric artefacts have been discovered at the site off Willesborough Road where mammoths and other prehistoric creatures once roamed the land that is now the Ashford borough.
