2 Mesolithic flint adzes and 1 pick or adze.
1 Neolithic flaked flint axehead.
1 Neolithic/Bronze Age flint fabricator.

Information from PAS import.
These finds were brought in by [2] who reported that "at least 10" axeheads or fragments were found by her father and uncles in the same area. Some of the implements were in pieces. These finds are potentially those recorded as NHER 6887, NHER 6888, NHER 6890 and possibly NHER 6889 - which may include some or all of the implements noted above that had been brought in for indentification in 2014. Most of the flints are thought to be from an area of higher ground centred on [3].
