Full Description
10 September 1906
Part-polished flint axe. [1]
Above is all the information contained in NCM register; but Frances Healy's unpublished thesis locates this as 'by barn, Store Farm'. I have been unable to find any record of a Store Farm in Sprowston at this date and think this must be a confusion (see also NHER 14892).
E. Rose (NAU), 11 May 1979.
