Full Description
Large quantity of worked flint in area of N part of 01513 (NGR is S corner of field). Scatter is too difuse to be considered a coherent "site". Over 50 pieces including blades and truncated blade forms, several with cortex remaining along one edge to allow pressure to be applied to the working edge. Also an awl, several rather large scrapers made on flakes, a hammerstone. (1) (2)
