Full Description

1999: Watching Brief on residential development, 3 visits made between 1/1999 and 12/1999, around 40-50% of site seen, no features seen, and all finds in topsoil. (S1, S2)

Descriptions of flint finds are broad, dating to a specific period bracket is ill-advised. However, they are likely later Prehistoric, based on older version on this record. However, note Mesolithic tranchet axe found to the north (BCC 088), (S3).
