Monument record TQ 57 SE 1080 - Palaeolithic Flake, Tower Hill School

Summary

During an archaeological evaluation in August 2015 two evaluation trenches were dug, each containing a Geoarchaeological test pit. A single Palaeolithic flake was recovered from Test Pit 2. The piece measures 110mm x 44mm, and it may derive from either a Clactonian or Acheulean type industry. IMPORTANT: The provenance of the flake cannot be verified due to collapse in the test pit and contamination of early layers with material from later layers.
