Full Description
Pre 1974. Context 2 at approximately 680 891.
Neolithic flint axe found.
Information from Curtis Catalogue via F. Healy (NAU).
E. Rose (NAU), 1977.
1988.
F. Healy (NAU) notes that whereas [1]'s version of Curtis's finds puts field 141 at this grid reference, (S1) does not mark the field, but the catalogue entry for the axe says 'field'141 Willow Holt'. (S1) seems to mark Willow Holt as the wood just west of this field, so the axe may come from there.
E. Rose (NAU), 30 September 1988.
28 March 1988. Fenland fieldwalking, carrot ridges but weathered.
