Findspot - Neolithic flints, HRI site

1 Members of the National Vegetable Research Station at Wellesbourne have, over the past five or six years, found barbed and tanged and leaf-shaped arrowheads and scrapers in the fields of the establishment. The station holds some of the finds (in different offices) but others have been retained by the finders and the staff is constantly changing. None of the finds are accurately sited.
2 Implements found during the period 1968-77 have been casually collected by several observers. Over 80 implements have been found, representing a range of types probably both Neolithic and Bronze Age. Finds include 61 scrapers, 5 leaf-shaped arrowheads, 3 petit tranchet arrowheads and 3 barbed and tanged arrowheads. A number of other flints and unworked flakes have been found. There is a greater density of flint in the area of the cursus (WA 1145) and fire-cracked flint has also been found here.
