Description
A concentration of Palaeolithic-Bronze Age flint implements between the east end of the mortuary enclosure and the edge of the gravel terrace. Mesolithic blades and cores concentrated in an area bordering a believed extended marshy area of a former post-glacial lake. A Neolithic arrowhead was also found. Roman material might suggest a settlement or cemetery. Medieval artefacts also present.
