Full Description
June 1962. Stray Find.
Prehistoric stone macehead with hour-glass perforation. Now held by King's Lynn Museum (KILLM : 1962.67). Information from (S1) and (S2). Discovery also reported in (S3). This find is identified as a pebble macehead in (S4) (where its provenance is incorrectly listed as Houghton St Giles).
