Full Description

{1} Fieldwalking in a field 1.25km west of Honey Hill (SP625 772). In the north west corner of the field a small but dense concentration of worked flint was recovered. This was made up of 108 pieces together with 11 burnt but apparently unworked pieces. The assemblage included eight broken and intact blades, a blade core and two microliths. Both of the microliths were broken but one appears to be plain obliquely blunted point. The remaining retouched pieces were two scrapers, one had been made from a core fragment while the other is almost perfectly round with complete peripheral retouch. All these pieces have parallels with the assemblage recovered from Honey Hill.
The southern half of the field was covered by a low density scatter of worked pebble fragments. A saddle quern from the same stone source was also found.
