Find Spot record 9097/0/0 - Unstratified Prehistoric Flints

{1} Quick inspection of the rabbit burrows on the south side upper slopes and the eroded ‘lynchets’ on the upper west side revealed no obvious stratigraphy but did identify numerous small flint pieces. At least two worked pieces, one broken blade and flake along with four possible worked fragments were recovered, all unstratified. These are undiagnostic and could fall into a broad date range (c. late Mesolithic through to early Bronze Age, c.4000 BC to 1500 BC?). No Roman or other material was observed.

{2} SP59487351 – finds: 2 small undated fragments of clay pipe, 2 small fragments of modern glass, 2 small 'struck' flints, probably natural. It is not possible to conclude from this very limited exercise whether features pre-dating the ridge and furrow were present, or if they are likely to have survived the medieval ploughing.
