Full Description
1933-1934. Fieldwalking. Old O.S field 7.
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 Early Neolithic leaf arrowhead that was recovered in this field (TF 7205 3981). Information from (S1). This is 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).
