Full Description
DO NOT ADD FINDS TO THIS RECORD. See [3].
2004. Stray Find.
Found by [1] in Lessingham at [2]:
1 Palaeolithic rolled ovate flint handaxe.
This find is listed in (S1) but no NHER reference is given and it appears that the NHER previously had no record of this discovery. It had probably been identified at the Norwich Castle Museum by P. Robins (NCM).
P. Watkins (HES), 9 June 2014.
