2 Over 2000 pieces of flint were recovered from this site. This may have been a flint knapping site as indicated by the larde quantity of debitage, unfinished tools and cores. Observation of large bolders of burnt clay may indicate a hearth at this site. The assemblage has not been looked at by an expert so there is no current date for the flint scatter.
