Monument record TQ 94 NW 285 - Neolithic Pits containing flint and pottery assemblages, Charing Quarry

Summary

During an archaeological excavation on the site in 2014, two large sub-circular pits containing early Neolithic pottery and contemporary flintwork were uncovered adjacent to one another. The pits contained single fills, with notably more sherds and flint deriving from pit 442. Minimal post depositional damage suggests that the pits were filled shortly after manufacture of the flintwork, perhaps representing structured deposition.
