NHER 1065 (Find Spot record) - Multi-period finds

1973. Fieldwalking.
Scatter of finds recovered along the edge of Great Wood:
1 undatable prehistoric pottery sherd (flint and sand tempered rim sherd - Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age?)
140 prehistoric worked flints, including 10 cores, 11 blade cores, 2 core rejuvenation flakes, 2 fragments of irregular waste, 41 flakes, 49 blades (including a fragment with edge gloss), 23 scrapers (many with steep coarse retouch), 1 retouched flake and 1 possible flaked axe fragment (S1). These were not individually dated, although it was suggested that the assemblage was possibly predominantly Mesolithic and Bronze Age.
10 Roman pottery sherds, including 9 greyware sherds and 1 mortarium base.
38 Early Saxon/?Early Saxon pottery sherds, including several decorated sherds. See drawings (S2).
1 medieval Grimston ware pottery sherd.
2 post-medieval pottery sherds.
4 undated tile fragments (suggested as possibly Saxon).
3 undatable fired clay fragments.
