W. Milligan (NCM), 19 June 1990. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 5 June 2014.

It should be noted that the flint pick listed above could well be the same object as a broken "Mesolithic/Neolithic flint axe/adze" recorded under NHER 25518 that was brought in for identification in 2009 and again in 2019. This implement is recorded as having been found amongst farm buildings at [2] and had possibly been "...imported with hardcore to make-up the farmyard". See NHER 25518 for further details.
