Full Description
1995. Stray Find.
Found in garden of Pear Tree Farm (NHER 11053) and apparently seen and identified by Norwich Castle Museum (NCM):
1 medieval key
1 post medieval pewter spoon.
Additional finds seen by E. Rose (NLA) on a visit to Pear Tree Farm (and presumably also from the garden of the property) included:
1 Mesolithic flint axe or 'pick' [possibly a tranchet axehead?].
1 Neolithic rechipped broken flaked flint axehead.
It was believed that these finds had also been seen by the NCM.
See (S1) for further details. Previously recorded under NHER 11053.
E. Rose (NLA), 19 November 1997. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 14 January 2014.
