Full Description

1989: Fieldwalking revealed a scatter of eleven blades, twenty-nine flakes, one end scraper and one core. The exact date of these flints is unclear but it they are presumably date no later than the Iron Age (S1).

Descriptions of flint finds are broad, dating to a specific period bracket is ill-advised. However, they may be Mesolithic to Iron Age, based on an earlier version of this record, (S2).
