From field around 100 yards [91m] west of main road Feltwell to Methwold Hythe and second field north of Tennis Drove:
1 prehistoric quartzite pebble macehead. 2 3/8 inches [6cm] x 2 5/8 inches [6.5cm] with biconical perforation. See drawing (S1).

Probably the same object as a quartzite pebble macehead now in collection of [1] (Coll. No. 15) and labelled "Left hand side of Hythe road 273m (300 yards) north of tennis" - assuming latter equals Tennis Drove.
