Close to Hacklinge across the flood plain lies a deserted homestead known as Spruckelham. Spruckelham is cited as being 'lineally to the east' of Hacklinge in a deed from the 14th century. It is thought to have been situated close to the present Chequers Inn in the Sandhills on the old track from Deal to Sandwich.[citation needed] The Lookers House that perished in the early part of the 20th century may well have been a part of the settlement of Spruckelham. Excavations at the site of the Lookers House in the 1980s revealed continuous occupation from the 14th century.
