Full Description

{1} Evaluation undertaken by Cotswold Archaeological Trust in 1992. A small flint scatter was noted (10 flints) but with no associated features.

{2} The first component of the assemblage appears to be Mesolithic in date and includes such diagnostics as a microlith, knives and edge-worn flakes. Most of this comes from residual contexts.

{5} The evaluation report regarding the number and distribution of Mesolithic flints suggests that no meaningful spatial patterning is likely to be recoverable.
