Full Description
1970. Stray Find.
Found by [1] while hoeing strawberries on Walsis Farm:
1 Mesolithic worked flint flake. Retained by finder. See drawing (S1).

This is possibly the 'miscellaneous implement' from a Walsis Farm "strawberry field" listed in (S4), which is recorded as being in the possession of [1] (although a second Mesolithic flint was recovered from a Walsis Farm strawberry field by the same finder, this object was donated to the Norwich Castle Museum - see NHER 3029).
