Full description
Council for British Archaeology, 1971, Untitled Source, 11 (Article in Serial). SDV116166.
Palaeolithic chert hand axe. 12 centimetres long and 6.35 centimetres wide at the butt. Found at Stockland Little Camp. Grid reference given; SY245065, is clearly wrong as this would place the find in the sea. Correct Grid Reference for Stockland Little Camp given above.
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1979, ST20SW12 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV116133.
Grid References given by the Council for British Archaeology are incorrect. On entry states that the chert handaxe is Mesolithic and the other that it is Palaeolithic but the fact that they were both found in 1969 at Stockland Little Camp with identical measurements suggests they are the same artefact. This would appear to be the same artefact described on Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card number ST20SW20.

NB. Whether these are really two separate axes; whether one is Mesolithic; why there are two Ordnance Survey entries and why Exeter Museum (letter S. M. Pearce to Ordnance Survey 7/10/1975) has no trace of them, is unclear.
