Full Description
November/December 1994. Stray Find.
Found on surface near Sewage Farm (area of Context 1 at [1]):
13 prehistoric worked flints.
This small assemblage includes no diagnostic pieces, although the presence of a worked-out blade core, blades and long narrow flakes suggests a Mesolithic/Early Neolithic date. Retouched pieces included a backed blade and a retouched flake (possibly an axe trimming flake).
Indentified by P. A. Robins (NCM). See description in file.
Previously recorded under NHER 25930.
