Full Description
17 January 1984. Fenland Project fieldwalking.
Site FWL 13.
Small patch of sand, part of more extensive island area. Predominately sandy loam with gravel, rather than purer sand. Island barely projects above peat level and material is scattered sparsely all over its surface.
Principally a 'pot boiler' site, though with some Mesolithic and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flints. A small fragment of an unreconstructable shaft-hole implement was also recovered. For further details see project archive (S1) and published report (S2).
R. Silvester (NAU), 17 January 1984. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 29 August 2013.
