Monument record TQ 76 NW 46 - Inhumation burial with flint and shell remains, Bores Hole, Halling
Summary
An inhumation burial was found during quarrying in 1907. The grave had been cut into the overlying scarp drift. The find was quite unique in that the body was covered by a layer of flints 12 to 18 inches thick. There were also a large number of shells found representing 31 species. At the time it was claimed that the burial dated to the Neolithic period however this is now thought to be uncertain.
