Monument record TQ 56 NE 107 - Environmental evidence recovered at Horton Kirby Paper Mill

Summary

A trial trench and borehole were excavated in 2007 to recover environmental evidence. The evaluation concluded that the site changed from a river environment to a land environment in the late Mesolithic period. The landscape was a mixture of riverine and light woodland and contained unusually early Mesolithic cereal evidence.
