NHER 9534 (Find Spot record) - Neolithic flint chisels and axehead

'Gipsy Lane - Earlham Road end (G. Rye's site E)'. On R. R. Clarke's (NCM) card listing Neolithic sites in Earlham. Gipsy Lane is centred 205 085, both ends join Earlham Road, but E. B. Green (NCM) believes eastern is probably meant.

F. Healy's (NAU) thesis under this county number gives 'Polished flint chisel and chipped flint chisel NCM 97.937'.

However NCM accession book under that number has 'two flint implements from Earlham Estate (one is rechipped polished axe from near Gipsy Lane, Norwich 1937'. So there is no certainty that the two were found together, and only a possibility that one was found on Rye's site E which must be pre-housing.

The 1885 first edition 25in map of Norwich shows an un-named lane on the course of the eastern section of Gypsy Lane, continuing to the northwest. The western section of the present Gypsy Lane is marked only as a footpath. This seems to confirm that it is the eastern end that is meant, at the present Fiveways roundabout.
