Finds seen by F. Healy (NAU) and listed in (S3). Initially noted on (S4). The finds themselves are part of the Parrott Collection which was previously on loan to the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1961.142) but is now housed at Weeting Primary School.

The Parrott Collection is also known to include 2 Late Upper Palaeolithic flint blade cores that were found in the field to the south of Brick Kiln Farm (Coll. Nos. 215c and 286c). See drawing (S5). These objects are described in (S6) and listed in (S7). It is also noted in (S7) that this collection includes 2 Late Upper Palaeolithic flint blades that were found in the vicinity of Brick Kiln Farm. It is unclear whether these were from this site or NHER 14951 to the north.
