Full Description
1998: Hundreds of flints dug up in garden potato patch by (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) (S1). According to description (from Dr Tom Plunkett, Ipswich Museum) they sound like a mixture of wedge and platform types all relatively crude, plus some 'semi-circular' objects (possibly 'strike-a-lights'). Apparently no evidence for gunflint production waste so presumably cache of obsolete stock.
