Fieldwalking NT 080 435 (centre) This field has been walked in the past and has produced a variety of lithic types (DES 2003, 122). In 2004 a number of chert and flint microliths and small blade cores were found, indicating Mesolithic activity in the area. Also, for the first time, Early Neolithic sherds were found and several pitchstone flakes. A large selection of other flint and chert artefacts were retrieved including scrapers, knives, arrowheads and axe flakes. An area which produced a number of flint tools thought to be Late Neolithic is being excavated to test for any remaining archaeological
deposits.
