Full Description
1933-1934. Fieldwalking. Old O.S field 60.
This was one of a number of fields close to the Peddar's Way that were examined by H. le Strange during the 1930s. A wide range of prehistoric worked flints were recovered, a selection of which are now held by the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (34.17-24; 34.47-50; 35.1201-25; 36.453-65 and 35.967).
Although the exact provenance of many of these finds is unclear the precise locations of a number are known. These include 2 Early Neolithic leaf arrowheads that were recovered in this field (TF 7149 3951 and TF 7145 3931). Information from (S1). These are likely to be part of the collection held by the CUMAA.
See NHER 1330 for further information on the other finds recovered during le Strange's fieldwalking. See also (S2).
