Landscape record TR 03 NW 119 - Mesolithic flint assemblage, Cheeseman's Green
Summary
Large-scale excavations by Wessex Archaeology for CgMS Consulting on the land at Cheeseman's Green revealed a large quantity of Mesolithic artefacts in situ from across the site. Due to the nature of their deposition it is thought to have been part of a buried land surface. The assemblage, which was seen in areas 4 N and 9 A is considered to be of regional importance.

Full Description
Test-pitting uncovered numerous flint finds from across the site but particularly in Areas 4N and 9 to a weight of almost 10kg. The finds were in good condition and found in situ. It is thought that these finds were part of a buried land surface. At the time of deposition the land-surface is thought to have been drier and more stable (1)
