Find Spot record 1344/0/0 - Prehistoric Flint Scatters

{1} Fieldwalking undertaken by Steve Parry; 2 concentrations of finds each of 1 hectare are probably part of a single larger scatter; there were 81 flints, a few dating to the mesolithic period, the others were mainly Neolithic and ealry Bronze Age in date; some were beaker related;

{2} Fieldwalking identified two flint concentrations at either side of a small pasture field; it seems likely that they both form a single larger scatter, particularly as they have similar compositions. The concentrations are largely made up of a combination of regular debitage and parent material with more even distributions of scrapers and other implements.
