Full Description
Prehistoric worked flints known to have been found on Anmer Minque (part of Flitham with Appleton parish) during the 20th century. The exact provenance of these object is not known. The mapped extent of this record reflects the extent of the area known as Anmer Minque, which has not changed since at least the late 19th century.
1951. Stray Find.
Found by D. R. Howlett (NCM):
1 prehistoric flint core and "potboilers". Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1958.32.5). Information from (S1). Although originally recorded as Neolithic this small blade core is now labelled by the NCM as potentially Mesolithic. It was most likely identified as such by P. Robins (NCM).
