Summary
Mesolithic, Neolithic and early Bronze Age flint artefacts have been collected from ploughed fields over several years. The principal find spot has previously been reported as an area near a spring north-east of the farmhouse (MDV9477), but discussions with the owner suggest that most finds came from the four fields surrounding the farm, with the two on the east side being the most productive.

Hedgemoor Farm. Mesolithic, Neolithic and early Bronze Age flint artefacts have been collected from ploughed fields over several years by the resident. The principal find spot has previously been reported as an area near a spring north3-east of the farmhouse (SX88NW/8), but discussions with resident suggest that most finds came from the four fields surrounding the farm, with the two on the east side being the most productive (SX 8080 8580 and SX 8080 8590). Most of the pieces are of grey-black or black fling, some retaining nodular cortex suggestive of extraction from a chalk area; though this may be owing to the selective nature of the assemblage. See subsheets for details.
