Full Description
{2} Twenty flints of broadly Neolithic/Bronze Age date found during field walking. The pieces would appear to have been made from locally available sources. Although the quality of the flint is fairly good, the raw material is of limited size and this is reflected in the small sizes of the material recovered. None of the pieces were highly diagnpostic apart from the broken blade segment which is of Mesolithic/ Early Neolithic date. With such a small collection is it not possible to be more precise in dating other than to suggest a broad Neolithic/ Bronze Age date.
