Map

Pre December 1992. Fieldwalking.
Found by [1] at [2]:
1 ?Palaeolithic flint chopping tool.
1 prehistoric flint flake.
Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1998.407.14). Probably identified by P. Robins (NCM). Although the museum's records indicate that these objects were found in 1992 it is possible that the Palaeolithic implement is actually an object that was seen by the museum in 1979 and recorded as having been found a little way to the west (NHER 15362).
P. Watkins (HES), 25 September 2014.
