Field by river:
1 Neolithic light grey flint axe, part polished. See drawing (S1).
Identified E. B. Green (NCM)
S. Margeson (NCM) 14 September 1983.
This object was resubmitted to the Norwich Castle Museum in 2004. See description by P. Robins (NCM) in file and (S2). Although initially recorded as being found somewhere on the land of Pewit Farm (Briston; NHER 40267) it is clearly the axehead from Corpusty that was drawn in 1983.
