Neolithic worked flint assemblage from land west of Little Chesterford (EHER 4795)

Extensive site, on the fields between the London-Cambridge road and the railway from Bordeaux Farms towards Littlebury village.

An extensive Neolithic flint site was found in the fields between the London-Cambridge road and the railway from the Bordeaux farms to Littlebury village (longitude 0" 12'2E, latitude 52 2'58"N (TL 514413). The flints were small and consisted of flakes, cores, scrapers, points, etc, mostly unpatinated. A finely worked circular scraper was discovered at a depth of 2 ft 6 ins. The rest mainly has a mottled blue patina. <1> <2> April 1950. Field survey. I found in the field around the old gravel pit, numerous flakes, wasters, a few cores and scrapers (one, a large rounded scraper), two worked flakes in the sides of the gravel pit were also discovered, at a depth of about 1 ft. The remaining fields between the railway and the road were either under crop or pasture and could not be searched. <2> <3> Original HER entry merged with NRHE data transfer.
