Summary

Mesolithic scatter from a field just south of the churchstyle site (see st20sw-066). A small, crescent shaped flint microlith and 120 other pieces of flint and chert. The microlith is of a form suggestive of a later date than the churchstyle assemblage, which probably represents a separate site (berridge).
