Full Description

Prehistoric flints found during bulldozing of windmill mound ((Does Mill), during October 1962. Basil Brown reports that the mound was made up of mixed clay etc., the lower portion of which had not been disturbed since the Mesolithic period. In this portion, the flints were patinated on one side whilst the other was black - apparently lying on original ground surface. Sketches on index card give no indication of period, but they are probably not Mesolithic flints as previosly recorded on HER card (S1). Also PMed pottery.
