Monument record 4414/0/1 - Unstratified Neolithic/Bronze Age flint

A large number of flint tools, waste flakes and cores is recorded somewhere to the east of the A508 near Hill Farm

{1} A Neolithic flaked flint axe and a few Neolithic/Bronze Age flints have been found. The owner/occupier of Hill Farm has, however, no knowledge of this find. The location is only approximate- "from Hill Farm across the road from Pitsford Reservoir";

{3} Flint-working site (unlocated), said to be somewhere E. of the main A508 road, south of the village, probably on Northampton Sand. A large number of flint tools, waste flakes and cores is recorded
