Full Description

1913-1916: Mesolithic flint assemblage, ex Mrs Caton collection (S1-S3)

Records are recorded as "North Farm Barnham", Jacobi (S3), some (PaMELA 11305) are not given an NGR whereas others (PaMELA 11553) have an NGR of the North Farm buildings. This is used here. But the extent of the farmland and nearby heathland should also be considered, (S4).
