Full Description
1993. Fieldwalking.
Two fields on north-facing slope of the valley of the River Ingol examined as part of wider survey aimed at determining the extent of the medieval settlement east of the church. A total of 175 worked flints were recovered, mostly waste. More diagmostic pieces included:
53 Mesolithic blades/blade fragments (many snapped in the process of producing microliths) and 3 micro-blade cores. These finds were concentrated in two small areas (approximately TF 6962 3269 and TF 6967 3267).
3 Early Neolithic leaf-shaped 'points' (presumably arrowheads).
1 Neolithic broken polished axehead, 2 awls, 2 knives and 1 scraper.
Apparently this work also recovered a background scatter of material (presumably pottery), indicating "…occasional cultivation from Romano-British times and more regular cultivation from c. 1700 AD onwards".
Information from (S1), in which a Mesolithic micro-blade core and three bladelets are illustrated. See also finder's map (S2) and photocopies of selected Mesolithic and Neolithic artefact (S3) (S4) in file. These discoveries were reported in (S5).
