NHER 18150 (Find Spot record) - Neolithic to Bronze Age hollow-based arrowhead and Roman coins

17 April 1982. Found in the roots of a fallen tree. Context 1 at [1].
Hollow-based flint arrowhead made on a flake of greyish-brown flint. In very fine condition. (S1) notes eighteen other examples from East Anglia. One crude example from Floor 16 at Grimes Graves (S2). The type is rare (0.2% of the national total). It is suggested that examples are imported from the Low Countries or Ireland.
C14 (radiocarbon) dates in Ireland from associated finds range from 2500 to 1400 b.c.

This is still partly bare and contains a thin scatter of struck flint, together with much unworked flint, over most of the area. Area examined by F. Healy (NAU).
