Monument record TQ 94 NW 44 - Mesolithic/Neolithic flints, east of Newlands
Summary
Mesolithic and early Neolithic flints were found at a site to the east of Newlands in 1997 during archaeological investigations in advance of constrcution works for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. A number of struck flints had been previosuly found at the site during an archaeological survey. Whilst Mesolithic and early Neolithic struck flints were collected from the topsoil no archaeological features of prehistoric date were recorded. It is thought that the recovery of these worked flints may suggest the presence of a Mesolithic or early Neolithic settlement in an area close to this site.
