Full Description
1990. Fieldwalking.
Found on surface of cleared plantation:
Two cores (one two-platform Mesolithic type)
One composite burin/scraper
One scraper
Eight flakes (one with irregular, invasive retouch)
Six blades (including two broken).
Given the nature of the finds from the surrounding sites it is quite possible that at least some of these flints are of Mesolithic date. These finds are now held by the NCM.
