Full Description
1964. In chopping out beet.
Socketed bronze axe-head.
See (S1) in the Illustration Library.
Above is NCM card originally with no grid reference and numbered NHER 10002. NHER 10033 at grid reference was on NCM map sheet as 'bronze axehead? Inf [1]'. A. Gregory (NAU) reports that [2] confirmed from [3] that this was the same find.
E. Rose (NAU), 20 January 1982.
Grid reference moved one field west by farmer [4] in 1981.
S. Margeson (NCM) November 1981.
Grid reference corrected a third time by finder [3] via [1] in 1986.
The spur under the same number is therefore now NHER 23091.
W. Milligan (NCM) November 1986.
1986. Fieldwalking.
Several worked flints found by [1].
1 Palaeolithic worked flint "...with patination and scratching".
1 Neolithic retouched flake and a number of unmodified flakes.
Identified by J. J. Wymer (NAU), 26 November 1986. Information from (S2). The Palaeolithic flake is also described on (S3).
The Norwich Castle Museum holds 5 worked flints from this site (NWHCM : 1999.323.7.4), although it does not appear that the Palaeolithic piece is amongst them as they are listed in the museums records as Neolithic.
Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 13 January 2014.
