Full Description
22 March 1984. Fenland Project fieldwalking.
Site HCW 57.
Well weathered ploughed soil. On south slope of sand island; may stretch further north but obscured by spoil from dyke cleaning. Moderate scatter of flints and sparse to moderate 'pot boilers'. Max dimensions 30m E/W x 20m N/S. The worked flints were predominantly Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, although a small number of pieces (blades and an end scraper made on a serrated blade fragment) were of probable Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date.
For further details see project archive (S1) and final publication (S2). The finds are now held by the Norwich Castle Museum.
Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 9 September 2013.
