Description
In 1941 Mr P. Crockford found sherds over a wide area on and in the mud outside the sea wall near the Quay. They were presumably from a rubbish dump on the red hill eroded by the tide about 100 yards NE of the last house and about 20 feet east of the sea-wall. The pottery included two pieces of Iron Age A type and several of Iron Age C pottery. A prehistoric brown flint scraper was also recovered. <1> <2>
The red hill is recorded separately at EHER 3542.
