Full Description
Finds from fieldwalking. Most of the pieces attributed to the Mesolithic are found in field 10, concentrated near the stream as it bends NW, with outliers extending S. Mesolithic activity seems to be spread over quite a large area, perhaps centred on the stream running between fields 10 and 8. This is perhaps more likely to represent repeated visits to the same general area over a protracted period by people with semi nomadic lifestyle, rather than a single episode of scattered activities.
