Full Description

Large flint scatter over 6 fields (at least) covering 25Ha approx. Western extent limited by alluvium. E extent unknown because of pasture land. Alluvium possibly post dates scatter. Large number of blades and scrapers; some borers and burins; polished axe fragment; 3 arrowheads, all petit- tranchet derivatives. Fourth projectile - a worked microlithic point. Blades concentrated in NW, near area of L 1191. (1)
Test pits dug in 1983 showed ground surface eroded before depostion of alluvium, hence preservation not as good as hoped. (4)
Grid ref centred - see site boundary on SMR map.
