Palaeolithic stone & flint artefacts found at Baginton.

1 A number of Palaeolithic and possible Palaeolithic implements have been found at Baginton gravel pit. Four implements were found at various times prior to 1929. These included a long triangular Acheulean hand-axe made from a Bunter pebble, the pointed end of a flint hand-axe of probable early Acheulean date, an undated flint scraper which is possibly Acheulean, and a crude waterworn flint flake which is possibly the oldest of all four. These implements were probably from an interglacial deposit of gravel.
3 Between 1929 and 1934 three further implements were located, including the pointed end of a stone hand-axe, a triangular flake trimmed on one edge and probably of Levalloisian date, and a possible Palaeolithic rolled flake.
4 The implements were found by searching gravel heaps in a large gravel pit centred at the above grid reference and are now in Coventry Museum.
