Full Description
3 December 1990. Stray Find.
Various prehistoric worked flints found on surface of overgrown arable land by [1]:
1 hammerstone.
19 flakes.
4 blades.
2 crested flakes.
10 spalls.
1 thumbnail scraper.
2 scrapers.
1 long end scraper (retouch on bulbar end).
Also fragment of very mineralised shaft bone?
This site is very close to Curtis's Late Upper Palaeolithic long blade site (NHER 5307). Fresh condition and the brown flint of much of the material suggests it may have originated from the same level. Identified by J. Wymer (NAU). The blades, crested flakes and long end scraper are listed are Late Upper Palaeolithic in (S1).
