Full Description

60 worked flints (from fieldwalking). Late neolithic / early bronze age activity is represented by debitage and tools typical of the period (large and chunky flakes, thumbnail scrapers, wedge, accomplished core/scraper). Blade technology is represented by core tablets, a residual blade core, neatly flaked slightly corticated core, corticated blade and end scraper on a blade, all likely to be earlier. (1) (2)
