Map

In about 1976. Stray Find.
Found in circular banks around cottages (no cottages marked on Ordnance Survey, so presumably modern; are the banks simply the material dug out when building them?). Excavated by mechanical digger when building car port:
1 Neolithic part-polished flint axe. See drawing (S1).
A. Taylor (NCM) 1979.

No cottages or circular banks shown here on (S2); suggest this is a complete mistake as to location.
E. Rose (NLA), 6 September 1996.
