NHER 1856 (Find Spot record) - ?Mesolithic and Neolithic/Bronze Age worked flints

Prehistoric worked flints reportedly found to the the north-east of Warborough Hill during the 1930s.

Pre 1935. Stray Find.
It is noted in (S1) that prior to 1935 a number of prehistoric worked flint had been recovered in "fields on the north-east of Warborough Hill".

Found by J. E. Sainty :
1 prehistoric coarsely-flaked axe, "probably an agricultural implement rather than a real axe". Exhibited at a meeting of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia in 1931 (S2). This fragmentary axe/adze was subsequently donated to the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1959.71) and was one of a number of objects identified as potentially Mesolithic by R. Jacobi.

Found by J. E. Sainty and F. H. Barclay:
A number of "coarse scrapers, all showing cortex…[which] may be Neolithic or Bronze Age in date". It is recorded in (S1) that a number of these were in the possession of F. H. Barclay in 1934: some may now be part of the collection of his finds held by the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1935.57).

Information from (S3).
It should be noted that the mapped extent of this record indicates only the approximate location in which these objects were probably recovered.
