Full Description
?1920s. Stray Find.
The British Museum holds an Upper Palaeolithic/Mesolithic flint "retouched piece" that was found by S. H. Warren at Sidestrand (2011,8114.868). According to the museum's records this was found "near the old church" - almost certainly a reference to the former site of St Michael's Church (NHER 6797) which was demolished in 1880. The site of this church has now been lost to coastal erosion. It is not recorded when this object was found, although it is known that Warren visited the Sidestrand foreshore in order to investigate the site of a controversial Palaeolithic discovery during the late 1920s - see (S1) and NHER 6773.
It should be noted that the mapped extent of this record reflects only the approximate location of this findspot.
