Full Description
Pre 9 December 1996. Stray Find.
In 1996 a Palaeolithic flint handaxe was identified and drawn by the Norwich Castle Museum (S1).
This implement was in the possession of [1] and appears to have come via Kelling Primary School. Its provenance was suggested as potentially Kelling parish, although it appears that this was not known for certain.
Although a full description of this object was probably produced this has not been found [2].
