Type and Period (2)
Full Description
{1} 27 pieces of struck flint and 19 pieces of burnt, unworked flint were recovered. Included 15 flakes, 7 cores and 2 pieces of waste debitage. The lack of blades and presence of flake cores suggests a later Neolithic or Bronze Age industry. Burnt flint is more common on later prehistoric sites. The small quantity suggests that there was limited archaeological activity within the area fieldwalked. It is possible that the artefacts were derived from adjacent sites, possibly in surrounding fields.
