Full Description

A total of ten pieces of flint were found: five were blades, two were flakes, one was a core, one was possibly struck and one was natural. Since they are mostly blades they are thought to be Mes or later. Five of the pieces were found within a 70m area, whereas the rest were widely scattered. Too few were found to point directly to a settlement site, but enough were found to suggest Mes activity within this area. (1)
