Full Description
Pre 1943. Stray Find.
Found on land of White Farm, Sprowston (apparently originally mistakenly entered as being from Rackheath):
1 Mesolithic tranchet-type chipped flint axe/adze. Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1943.82). Information from (S1). This find is also listed in (S2) and is described in detail in (S3) (two separate entries, but both almost certainly relate to the same object).
This record was previously mapped at TG 268 120, which is the grid reference listed in (S2). This however simply indicates the location of White Farm itself, rather than that of the actual find.
