Full description

This record details a large collection of worked flints recovered as a result of surface collection in the fields surrounding Micklehaugh Farm between 1964 and 2008. All objects were recovered by [1] and remain in his possession. The precision of the provenance recorded for the individual objects varies considerably. Although in many cases a record was made of the fields in which objects were recovered (using the old sequence of O.S field numbers), it appears that there are many finds for which this information was not recorded or is not known at present.

REPORTED FINDS FROM SURFACE COLLECTION 1964-1989

The following objects were brought to the Norwich Castle Museum for identification between 1964 and 1974. The majority of these early finds had been assigned individual collection numbers and many were sketched or drawn by NCM staff. Apart from a small number of obviously later prehistoric implements all of the worked flints were recorded as Mesolithic. It should be noted that subsequent analysis of the material from this site has identified a significant later prehistoric component and it is therefore probable that some of the material listed below as Mesolithic (particularly the various scrapers) was actually Neolithic or Bronze Age in date.

OTHER FINDS FROM SURFACE COLLECTION 1974-1990

The finds detailed above represent only a small proportion of the worked flints that were eventually recovered by [1] in the fields surrounding Micklehaugh Farm. Although after November 1974 few finds were submitted to the Norwich Castle Museum, the collection was made available to interested researchers on a number of occasions.

In February 1976 the collection was examined by A. Lawson (NAU), following the completion of a small trial excavation on the site the previous year (see below). At this time the assemblage comprised 4268 worked flints, including:
203 cores (56 double platform, 57 single platform and 90 irregular).
3019 flakes, 733 blades (404 complete, 302 broken/segments and 27 pointed).
2 shatter fragments
24 axes, 2 ?axe fragments and 6 rejuvenators/axe sharpening flakes.
285 retouched pieces, including 19 notched flakes, 9 borers, 51 retouched flakes, 1 flake with shallow surface flaking, 5 pressure-flaked pieces, 21 retouched blades, 2 obliquely blunted blades, 1 obliquely pointed blade, 4 serrated blades, 1 notched blade, 26 microliths, 1 ‘graver’ [burin], 8 fabricators, 1 ‘chopping tool’, 21 end scrapers and 101 other scrapers.
1 Mesolithic or later quartzite macehead fragment.
1 Early Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead.
1 Neolithic polished axehead fragment.
1 Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead.
These totals include the various previously reported finds recorded above. The majority of these finds were from the main concentration identified in 1974 (Contexts 12 and 13). It was noted that although the number of Mesolithic axeheads was consistent with the earlier Mesolithic flint industry recovered during the excavation, much of the material from surface collection was potentially of a later date. The scrapers in particular (nearly all of which were unpatinated) were more likely to be Neolithic or Early Bronze Age.
See (S4) for further details, in which a number of the cores, axeheads and retouched pieces from surface collection are illustrated.

Between 1989 and 1990 work was undertaken on the Micklehaugh Farm collection by P. Robins (NCM) and J. J. Wymer (NAU), who examined the additional material recovered since February 1976 as well as a number of the earlier finds. It appears that the intention had been to publish a more detailed account of the assemblage, although this never came to fruition. Several boxes of flints from the site were examined and quantified by P. Robins, all of which would appear to have been found after February 1976. These flints were recorded as comprising:
238 blade cores (130 single-platform cores, 100 two-platform cores and 8 multi-platform cores), 48 rough cores, 4 discoidal cores, 6 miscellaneous cores, 35 core fragments, 25 core tablets and 27 shatter pieces.
889 flakes/spalls, 307 blades/blade segments and 9 crested flakes.
1 small axehead and 1 axe sharpening flake
7 retouched blades, 2 obliquely truncated blades, 92 retouched/notched flakes, 341 scrapers,
3 microliths, 2 arrowheads, 1 point, 1 borer, 6 denticulates, 2 saws, 1 ?core graver, 1 discoidal knife, 1 crescentic knife and 3 miscellaneous bifacially flaked pieces.
2 hammerstones.
Although only a proportion of these finds appear to have been marked with a precise provenance it is clear that the majority were again from the main concentration to the north of Micklehaugh Farm (Context 12). A number of additional areas had however also been examined including old O.S field 827 to the north of main concentration (Context 14) and old O.S fields 866 and 867 to the south-east of Micklehaugh Farm (Contexts 15 and 16).
Basic analysis untaken at this time included a statistical comparison of the blade and blade core assemblages with a selection of those from the Kelling Heath Mesolithic site (NHER 6246) and the average blade core weight with that from the Mesolithic site at Great Melton (NHER 16753). In all cases it appears that this analysis highlighted notable differences.
See copies of descriptions notes and graphs in file, all of which were found in the British Museum Wymer Archive.

In 1990 all of the Mesolithic microliths and axeheads from Micklehaugh Farm were examined by J. J. Wymer.
By this time a total of 144 core tools had been recovered, including:
103 Mesolithic axeheads (28 light and 75 medium), 20 probable tranchet axehead fragments and 11 roughouts, probably for tranchet axes. See drawings of nine axeheads (S27), including one of those previously illustrated in (S4).
1 ?Mesolithic quartzite punch.
10 Neolithic flint axeheads.

Wymer recorded a total of 66 microliths including 13 rods with blunting on one side, 3 rods with blunting on both sides, 4 large rods, 1 broken scalene, 16 obliquely blunted point (1 with blunted to form an angle and 15 with blunted on one side), 24 obliquely blunted points, blunted on both sides, 4 unfinished and 4 blunted across one end. See drawings (S43).
Wymer also identified 5 ?microliths, including 1 trapeze, 2 obliquely blunted point and two other retouched blades. See drawing (S44). The majority of the pieces with recorded provenances were found amongst the main scatter to the north of Micklehaugh Farm. It should however be noted that it appears 3 of the microliths were found on land to the south of NHER 2259, in Kenninghall (1 rod and 2 obliquely blunted points; nos 14, 23 and 32 on drawing) - these are now recorded under NHER 60520.
See file for copies of notes, photographs of axeheads, all found in the British Museum Wymer Archive.

See file for copy of distribution plot of artefacts found between 1974 and 1983 (S48), also from British Museum Wymer Archive (probably drawn by Wymer). This map provides significantly more information than the one that appears in (S4). The assemblage is briefly noted in (S49).

EXCAVATIONS 1975-1988

In 1975 a small-scale excavation was undertaken in one of the fields immediately to the north of Micklehaugh Farm, in O.S field 858 (Context 6), within the area that had been identified as the main concentration of lithic artefacts (at [64]). This work sought to establish if any material remained in situ and the depth of any surviving stratification. A single 3m by 2m trench was excavated, with all finds individually plotted. 237 worked flints and ‘pot boilers’ were recovered, the majority found in relatively undisturbed subsoil contexts beneath the topsoil. The worked flint assemblage was though to be predominantly of earlier Mesolithic date and included a single microlith, a scraper, cores, blades and flakes.
See (S4) for further details. This work was also noted in (S45).
Now recorded under NHER 60521.

In 1981 a minor excavation was undertaken by J. J. Wymer (NAU). This work saw the excavation of a small 2m x 1m trench located 10m to the north of the area previously investigated (at [65]). A small assemblage of worked flints was recovered including a single core, flakes and ‘pot boilers’. As no diagnostic pieces were found it is unclear whether these finds were associated with Mesolithic or later prehistoric activity.
Also now recorded under NHER 60521.

In July 1988 a small excavation was undertaken by J. J. Wymer (NAU) and a M.S.C team at the northern edge of the large field that had formerly been O.S fields 866 and 867. This work was undertaken following the discovery of many worked flints in this area and sought to establish whether this material related to a source in the subsoil. Little in the way of subsoil survived in the location examined and only a small number of undiagnostic worked flints were recovered,
See NHER 24948 for further details.

REPORTED FINDS FROM SURFACE COLLECTION 1995-2008

The following finds are known to have been recovered at Micklehaugh Farm by [1] between 1995 and 2008. As with the earlier finds there are likely to represent only a small proportion of the material recovered during this period.

18 February-9 March 1995. Fieldwalking.
Examination of 10m by 100m strip at northern edge of old O.S fields 857 and 858 (Contexts 3 and 6). This work was undertaken in recognition of the fact that it was 20 since the first excavation on the site. Preliminary investigations showed a “wealth of material” and it was therefore decided to restrict collection to microliths and other comparable Mesolithic implements. 7 Mesolithic worked flints were recovered: 5 microliths and 2 retouched blade segments. See sketches (S46).
For further details see copies of finder’s report (S47), location plan and correspondence in file (from British Museum Wymer Archive).

It is noted in (S47) that by early 1995 the total number of axeheads recovered at Micklehaugh Farm had increased to 190, of which 170 were potentially Mesolithic.

Late September 1995. Stray Find.
Found by [1] at unknown location:
1 Neolithic fragmentary polished axehead.

P. Watkins (HES), 13 October 2014.

Early May 2005. Stray Find.
1 Late Neolithic polished stone axehead. This axehead was probably an import to East Anglia, possibly from the Langdale axe factory. Its unused state suggests it was possibly a ceremonial object.
