Full description

Quantities of hand worked flints in a small area (no more than 5 meters x 3 meters) in the gateway and just inside the field to the south of Church Lane in Alfington. These finds might be associated with an early settlement suggested by the prevalence of several 'Bury' field names in this area: Plot Nos: 1318 - Great Bubery, 1319 -Llittle Bubery, 1320 - Bubery, 1322 - Berry Hill, 1323 - Berry Hill, 1324 - Burowhill. All these plots lie next to each other on a knoll of high ground (75 meters +) at the north end of Alfington village. Most of them are also built on.
