"The ploughsoil in Trench 1 yielded a total of thirteen prehistoric stuck flints (453g). These are all
unpatinated flakes and only four show any evidence of working. With the exception of one small tertiary flake, all the flints are secondaries, bearing traces of the white chalky cortex typical of immediately available local downland flint. One small calcined flint (‘pot-boiler’), again probably prehistoric, was also recovered from the ploughsoil.

Four struck flakes showed some evidence of working to produce crude tools. Two blade-like flakes
have roughly worked notches on their sides, whilst two other flakes have coarse working along one edge to produce poor quality scrapers.

It seems probable that this small lithic assemblage relates to a single, relatively crude industry.
There are no particularly diagnostic tools but the generally rough appearance of the material suggests thatit may be broadly placed within the later Neolithic – Bronze Age period." (1)
