Full Description
The two pieces of struck flint came from alluvial deposits, which also contained Roman finds, suggesting the flints are residual [1]. One piece was a barbed and tanged arrowhead, dated to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. It is worth noting that these flints could be associated with prehistoric activity on the east side of the Ebbsfleet.
