Archaeology Notes

NG93SW 14 913 301

NG 913 301 A large flint core, possibly early prehistoric in date. Large flakes have been removed from the surface of the piece, and there is no indication of a defined form or working, suggesting the piece is a core rather than a tool. The circumstances of deposition at the discovery site are obscure and the piece may have been redeposited from outside the area. Length 130 x 55mm; weight 573.4g.
