Neolithic occupation site, Mill Bay, Dovercourt (EHER 3334)

The potsherds were described as being of Windmill Hill Ware, while the flints were suggested to represent the final stages of axe manufacture. Also present were a leaf shaped arrowhead, a transverse arrowhead, a discoidal scraper and a number of flint saws. The pottery is in the British Museum.
