Full Description
During excavation work a quantity of struck flint artefacts were recovered. These were mainly flakes or waste, but also included some cores and retouched pieces (mainly scrapers). The assemblage was in generally good condition with only a few pieces showing patinateing. There appears to be some evidence for flintworking on the site, but no clear evidence yet for knapping in situ. Two edge-ground implements indicate a late neolithic date for some of the assemblage with the others unclear. The excavators have suggested an overall date of late neolithic to early bronze age.(1)
