1 Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flaked flint ?adze. The triangular section and thick butt of this artefact suggest that it is an adze rather than an axehead. No major tranchet scars and no trace of polish. See drawing (S1).
Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1999.80).
Identified by P. Robins (NCM) in September 1998, but apparently not added to the NHER at this time. See description in file [2].
