Full description
November 1992. Fieldwalking.
Many worked flints including flakes, blades and other struck pieces. Notable pieces include a possible micro-burin of Mesolithic or Neolithic date and a Neolithic side scraper. The remainder of the assemblage probably represents knapping during two phases: the late Mesolithic/early Neolithic and the 'mature' Neolithic. Fifty-two undated prehistoric 'pot boilers' were also recovered.
