Full Description
13 December 1985. Fenland Project fieldwalking.
Site FWL 145.
In good conditions, young winter wheat. Set on flattish plateau of chalky loam.
Concentration of sparse flints and sparse 'pot boilers'. Typical spread of material from areas which are now a little distant from peat. Not clear if really a concentration or a remnant of once general spread. 17m east to west x 16m north to south at 0.9m OD. Flints mostly Late Neolithic, including a chisel arrowhead and a fabricator, although at least one piece of possible Mesolithic/Early Neolithic date was also found.
For further details see project archive (S1) and final publication (S2).
