Full Description

Dewey & Smith report three handaxes, two ovates and a more pointed form, and a flake from this pit (1). The pointed handaxe and one of the ovates were described as in sharp condition. Roe (2) reported one handaxe from Hoath Wood Pit in the Ashmolean, and the site later included in the Southern Rivers Project (3, 4), where Roe is quoted as suggesting that further material in Plymouth Museum and the British Museum might be attributable to this site.
