In total, 27 pieces of struck flint weighing 973g were recovered during both evaluation phases at the site. The assemblage of struck flints consists principally of unmodified waste pieces, of which flakes are the dominant type. It contains 21 flakes, one blade-like flake and a piece of irregular waste. This result indicates a late prehistoric date (Ford 1987). The large quantity of plain platforms with no preparation suggests a Bronze Age / Early Iron Age, but a flake from subsoil context (1/002) with thin blade scars on the dorsal surface suggests a Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date. Two modified pieces were found. They are only minimally retouched and are chronologically undiagnostic. The cores are fragmented, but they seem to have been minimally prepared. The condition of the material varies, but the majority of the pieces display some edge damage implying some degree of post-depositional disturbance. Unworked burnt flints were recovered from three trenches: trench 15 (7099g), trench 16 (3347g) and trench 18 (109g). While the majority of fragments from trench 15 were calcined to a light grey colour, the fragments from trench 16 were only slightly burnt to a reddish colour. Unworked burnt flints are
frequently associated with prehistoric activities.
