Found fieldwalking by Colin Pendleton, (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s). Finds include triangular arrowhead (catalogue no. A154) from (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s), plano-convex knife (I68) from v, barbed and tanged arrowhead (RF 19) from (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s), scrapers etc (S1). Also polished flint axe, MNL 021, from ?this field.
In 1970's (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s), reported how he and his father had found over a number of years, `hundreds of arrowheads' (leaf and barbed and tanged types), whilst horse ploughing on this field. (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) has a small collection himself and is quite capable of identifying flints, so his statement must be accepted as basically correct (CP).
