NK 082 413. Observation of a field surface following ploughing revealed dense flint-knapping debris and associated quartzitic cobble-anvils. The knapped debris all relates to primary processing and is similar to that recovered by excavation at the nearby flint extraction sites of Den of Boddam and Skelmuir Hill. Elsewhere in the same field, abundant blocks of natural flint at the surface suggest this location is a previously unmapped extension of the flinty Buchan Ridge Gravel.
