Full Description
(1-2) Over 100 flint flakes, blades, cores and retouched implements are recorded as having been found between 1907-12 but are located to the parish only. These include a mesolithic element - two microliths and a few small blades - but almost all the diagnostic types are consistent with a neolithic or early Bronze Age date. These include five leaf-shaped arrowheads, four barbed-and-tanged arrowheads, two tanged arrowheads, scrapers, `fabricators', a plano-convex knife and a flake from a polished flint axe. Also located to the parish only is a flint arrowhead.
