Full Description
About 1966.
Flint dagger.
Information from F. Healy (NAU).
E. Rose (NAU) 30 April 1979.
1983.
Information from 'an old Massingham farmworker' via [1], that this locality is on Grimston Heath not Massingham Heath at grid reference. Note that this is adjacent to findspot of broken flint dagger in NCM. No confusion possible apparently as objects are in different collections and [1] was only asked to find the name, so did not mention a dagger to the farmworker.
E. Rose (NAU) 17 October 1983.
March 1989.
[1] nows says that Shanghai was a general name for the large field marked as 'Massingham Heath' on (S1), in Great Massingham parish about 1/4 mile southeast of above. But he had forgotten giving the above information and the 1983 entry seems more probable.
E. Rose (NAU) 7 March 1989.
