A total of thirty-eight pieces of grey chert, including several struck flakes, were found on the W side of a large pond in the forestry plantation on Windy Edge. Some were found in situ below about 0.3m of peat in the exposed section of a drain on the W side of the pond, and others in the up cast spoil.
