27 struck flints found in a sandy silt layer overlying the natural chalk. The majority of flints date to the Mid-Late Bronze Age although one finely serated blade dating to the Mesolithic/Early Neolithic was also located (TQ 67 SW 379). The flints were in a generally poor condition, with no suggestion of discrete industries. The condition of the flints suggests that they had been produced over a long period of time and had become mixed together, possibly as a result of colluvial action. No relationship has been assumed between these finds and later Iron Age-Roman activity on the site. [4]
