Full Description
Unknown date. Stray Find.
It is recorded in (S1) that the Bolton Museum holds an unprovenanced Palaeolithic handaxe from Great Ellingham.
Information from (S2).
This find is noted on (S3) as being a rough but unrolled handaxe, found "near Attleborough". It does not appear that the object was examined by Wymer - this information apparently being drawn from the records compiled for (S2).
This object is also noted in (S4), (S5) and (S6).
