Full Description

1994:Scatter of white heat-crackled flints and some flint flakes. Also a patinated core-rejuvenation flake, probably Mesolithic in date and an unpatinated flint scraper, probably Neolithic/Early Bronze Age (S1).

1995: Further small group of flints found in 1995, including a patinated flake and an unpatinated core (S2).

Descriptions of flint flakes are broad, dating to a specific period bracket is ill-advised. However, they may be Mesolithic or later, based on details of discovery, (S2).
