Full Description

Fieldwalking, Field 15: 18 pieces of flintwork. Hardly any tools and a significant proportion of spalls, suggesting a Mesolithic attribution, though only one blade is present. Clearly clustered within the field, on gravels at the foot of the limestone scarp. (1)
See L12177,9 and L12184 for Mesolithic finds from fields to N.
