Full description
Several flint tools were found during an excavation at Valley Farm, on the site of the Roman building [893]. They were alll found in the ploughsoil and may have come down the slope from higher ground. Two were well-made Cresswellian type Upper Palaeolithic blades, one of good blue flint; an end scraper may also be Palaeolithic. There were also seven Mesolithic microlith blades, two probably Neolithic scrapers, and other less identifiable pieces including 11 blades and a possible borer with a broken point <1>.
