Summary

Sixty three pieces of flint were recovered from superficial deposits within site 33.03 during a programme of archaeological works along the route of a gas pipeline. They appear to represent a mixed background scatter. They include a few possible Mesolithic or Neolithic pieces but most are later in date, probably Bronze Age.

Site 34. Filham House, Ugborough. Sixty two pieces of flint were recovered from unstratified or subsoil horizons within site 33.03 to the south-west of Filham House. There are a few possible Mesolithic or Early Neolithic pieces in the form of blades and worked down bladelet cores. Among the blades are clearly soft hammer struck examples in good quality pale grey flint. Tools are restricted to scrapers and miscellaneous retouched pieces. Most appear to be relatively late, probably Bronze Age.
