Prehistoric worked and burnt flint, Wood End Farm, Maltings Lane (EHER 17424)

A fieldwalking survey at Wood End Farm in 1996 revealed scatters of burnt and worked flint, flint-working waste and a flint core which may indicate prehistoric activity in this area

1996. Systematic fieldwalking. This survey revealed scatters of burnt and worked flint. A total of 160g of burnt flint was recovered from the survey area with the main concentrations being located toward the eastern boundary and to the centre of the survey area. The worked flint assemblage was mainly concentrated in the north-east of the survey area at TL 8146 1346 and TL 8144 1352 and comprised 5 flakes, 1 core and a tool. The presence of both worked and burnt flint scatters towards the northern and eastern boundary of the site may be indicative of prehistoric activity in this area, but this can only be tentatively suggested as the assemblage recovered from the survey was insubstantial. <1> See also <2>.
