Map

November 1994. Hargham Estate Fieldwalking
Fourteen worked flints, including a core rejuvenation flake, three scrapers, eight flakes (two retouched) a blade fragment and a borer. The core flake is possibly from a Mesolithic or Early Neolithic blade core, whilst the scrapers are possibly Early Neolithic. The other flints are not closely datable. The glossy finish and lack of patination are noteworthy but probably due to the local soil conditions. See detailed descriptions by A. Davison in file.

The other finds included Iron Age, Roman, Middle Saxon, Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval pottery and post-medieval tile.
