Findspot record TQ 93 SE 5 - Mesolithic to Bronze Age flint artefacts
Summary
A field at Ellis Barn Farm has yielded numerous surface finds following ploughing of Mesolithic implements, including points, blades and cores. No trace of habitation or working floors are visible in the area. The site was first reported as a "late Neolithic or early Bronze Age chipping floor" although the finds on which this analysis was made cannot be traced for comparision with the later finds. Further visits have produced more material from this field, mostly Mesolithic in date, but also some Neolithic materials. There is a general scatter without any particular concentrations. The finds made since 1965 comprise 6 tranchet axe/adze sharpening flakes, 88 micro and blade cores, 809 blades and flakes unretouched, 55 scrapers, 4 gravers, 389 other artefacts and 5 microliths.
