Full description
Pre 1968. Stray Find.
Found at unknown date on "Bridge Farm", near Sporle:
2 Palaeolithic flint handaxes. Donated to the King's Lynn Museum (KILLM : 2001.492-3).
Information from (S1).
These finds are listed in (S2) and on (S3) and in (S4). They are also noted in (S5) and (S6), although no additional information is given.
It is unclear where these objects were discovered. The main buildings associated with Bridge Farm are located at TF 8406 1103. Wymer noted that these handaxes are in sharp condition, perhaps suggestive of a primary context.
