2000. Casual finds.
?Neolithic/Early Bronze Age bifacially flaked artefact (S1), 47mm by 34mm by 7mm - irregularly sub triangular piece with invasive shallow flaking over the whole of both faces, with a trace of cortex on one face. Possibly a blank being prepared for conversion into an arrowhead. Found in close proximity to arrowhead D (see below), though both were surface finds.
Beaker barbed and tanged arrowhead, incomplete. See (S1) in file (labelled D). Similar to arrowhead found at NHER 35627 (C on (S1)) in size but with the tang broken off. The point is still sharp. However the flaking is steeper and less invasive so that both faces carry part of the surface of the original flake blank. The point is towards the proximinal end of the blank.
Prehistoric retouched flake - thin flake with broad abrupt distal end. Retouched on one edge and across the distal end to give shallow notches.
All identified by P. A. Robins (NCM).
