NHER 24948 (Find Spot record) - Prehistoric worked flints

28 July 1988.
Small trial excavation conducted by J. J. Wymer (NAU) with Manpower Services Commission team to test whether numerous flints found on the surface of the plough soil by [1] related to a source in the sub soil.
Eight metre square transects were excavated, producing 9 prehistoric flint flakes, 4 blades, 1 possible core, 2 spalls and 1 'pot boiler' - all found in the ploughsoil. Nothing in weathered top of glacial till, or in the undecalcified till immediately below. These flints are not closely dateable, although it is possible that at least some were Mesolithic.
