Summary
The two-acre field at shilstone in which the spinster's rock megalithic tomb stands was searched when it was newly ploughed in 1957. One small core and seven waste scraps of flint were found. The field has been dressed with chalk containing flints, which may prove misleading, as it is in the form of flakes, presumably due to having been put through a stone-crusher (fox). Vis=-/1/1982 (lawson). Flints collected at random by m. Lawson and p. Waring. Vis=-/7/1982 (worksheet). Flints collected by t. Greeves and b. J. Orme. Both collections include cores and scrapers (see details in worksheet).
