NT42NE 24 48 27.
On the South Comman Farm, in the vicinity of a hill which lies in a field N.W. of Selkirk racecourse, a knife of red-coloured flint and a scraper of chalcedony have been picked up. At the lower end of the field two arrow-heads of the barbed type, several flakes, cores and scrapers and two pigmy implements were secured. A portion of a jet armlet was also found in this part of the field.
Following the path which leads to the racecourse a flat field, looking to the south, is reached. On it several fine tools have been found, such as a leaf-shaped arrow-head, a fine-pointed implement like a knife, and two pigmy implements of green chert.
