No mapped location recorded.

According to information supplied by [1] the Passmore Edwards Museums held an unregistered prehistoric flint or stone object marked "Beeston Lw, Param in Chalk Box Xc". This note suggests a possible 19th-century found in what was then the parish of Beeston St Lawrence (now part of Ashmanhaugh parish). The chalk reference may suggest that this object was Palaeolithic.
