(26/10/1977) SX 8060 8583 Hedgemoor Farm. Flint implements found when digging pond on top of old land surface buried by clay deposit (c. 30 centimetres deep), above which was a layer (c. 30 centimetres) of 'modern' topsoil. Owner has photographs of the find spot.
One is probably a roughout of a late Neolithic adze, and another is probably the tip of a late Neolithic 'pick'. The other two crude pieces are thought to be natural. Dating evidence provided by Roger Jacobi and Henrietta Miles, November 1977.

The pick is probably Mesolithic. Owner's colour photo of the find spot shows three distinct strata - ?peat over clay over peat. Environmental evidence may therefore survive.
