Full description

In April 1995 Mr Nick Wright undertook a detailed fieldwalking survey of a field overlooking the confluence of the East and West Looe Rivers at Trenant Barton. The survey was carried out along 2 metre spaced grid lines. All of the finds appear to have been made from pebble flint and the occurrence of leaf-shaped arrowheads suggest a Neolithic date for the collection. Artefacts include: 12 scrapers, 2 cores, 2 fabricators, 9 retouched flakes, 2 leaf-shaped arrowheads, 65 fragments of debitage and a possible stone tool.
