Nearly 1500 flint artefacts recovered from Seabrook Farm in 1985-6 by M Wallser.

Around 1500 pieces of worked flint – the ‘Wallser Collection’, now held by the Royal Albert Memorial Museum – were recovered from the southern part of the Seabrook Orchards site through surface collection between 1985 and 1986.
A few pieces of worked flint that are attributable with varying degrees of confidence to the Mesolithic period, constitute the earliest evidence for activity on the site from Wessex Archaeology’s investigations in Spring 2015. These were residual, as were the occasional pieces of Mesolithic flint during work here by John Moore Heritage Services (2008), Martin Tingle (2009) and Wessex Archaeology (2019).
