Full Description
Pre 1934. 'At high-tide level west of the gap at West Runton'.
Flint artefact?
Described in (S1) as 'a well designed steep edged scraper. Made from a wide, thick primary flake. It is 2.6 inches long, 3.6 inches wide and 1.6 inches in extreme height…' Quoted in article on Flint implements from the Stone Bed of the North Norfolk Coast.
As 'implements' from the stone bed are now thought to be eolithic (natural) all the tools described were included in site NHER 6335 (Eoliths and possible palaeo's from Runton Beach.)
However the article states that this particular tool did not come from the Stone Bed but from the beach near a stone bed exposure.
The implement passed to informant who presented it to NCM in June 1981.
F. Healy (NAU) states it is possibly an artefact.
E. Rose (NAU) 4 June 1981.
