NHER 59931 (Find Spot record) - Neolithic worked flints including hollow-based arrowhead

1933-1934. Fieldwalking. Old O.S field 66.
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 1 Neolithic hollow-based arrowhead that were recovered in this field (TF 7120 3948). 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).

Pre 1999. Fieldwalking.
A number of finds that le Strange had recovered in this area were accessioned by the Norwich Castle Museum in 1999. It is unclear when these were found. These finds included a number of Neolithic flint flakes that were labelled as coming from Field 14 (NWHCM : 1999.326.5.2.2). A map produced by le Strange in the 1980s suggests that his Field 14 was this field (see Secondary File for NHER 1595).
