NH64NE 136 c.667 452.
In 1839, on the N side of the High Street, workmen 'found part of a deer's horn, 36 inches in length, about ten feet below the surface of the street. Part of the horn was covered with sea shells'. Though this may represent the remains of a mesolithic shell midden, it is unlikely to be contemporary with the midden described on NH64NE 104 as the deposit would have been subject to the erosive effects of the marine transgressions noted there.
