Handaxes identified on Francis Wenban Smith Schedule Aug 2006

Additional bibliography. (2) The site probably represents a minimally disturbed lithic working site on a palaeo-landsurface, but unfortunately no further investigation took place after the initial evaluation, before construction of HS1 through it.
