Full Description

1996: Fieldwalking (and metal detecting) survey by Lowestoft Archaeological and Local History Society Field Group by `casual line-walk'. Prehistoric finds from field 42 listed as 18 flakes and 9 scrapers plus (?) some natural flint with (secondary?) working. Also 1 Roman & 8-10 Post Medieval sherds & metalwork - details in (S1).

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