Full Description

1954: Artefacts, Mesolithic or Late Palaeolithic Scatter. One tranchet axe, 18 blades, large rejuvenator. From hill overlooking Bramford (S1-S4).

Jacobi, (S4) suggests that this tranchet axe actually comes from "no. 2 Pit" (BRF 001 or BRF 011), However more recent research by Billington places it here, (S5)
