Notes about this historic site

1 Field walking in the fields containing cropmarks (WA 4145 and WA 5684) collected a total of 120 flints. The assemblage contained mainly flints consistent with a mesolithic flint-knapping site, the concentration of which was centered around SP4773.
2 In 1994 a series of 1m sq test pits were excavated around the main flint concentration. A number of struck flint flakes were recovered from the plough soil, however no flint was found in the natural sand and gravels.
3 A geophysical survey carried out over the site of the mesolithic flint scatter identified several weak anomalies which may be associated with a temporary Mesolithic settlement.
4 Dating confirmed as Mesolithic.
