Full Description

`Bronze age flint arrowheads, 1955, (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)' annotated on map in BSEMH, but a findspot of (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) is clearly shown (S2).
A second map records `3 barbed flint arrowheads, (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)', together with `exceptional arrowhead' which is marked as being found at (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)(see MNL 062)(S3).
(see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) is cited for barbed and tanged arrowheads (S1)(S4), although OS also record Lady Briscoe as siting these arrowheads at the same location as a bronze palstave (MNL 051) at (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)(S1). This findspot for the palstave is certainly incorrect (see MNL 051).
It appears some confusion exists over 3 barbed (and tanged) arrowheads, mapping suggests one (at least) was found at (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)(MNL 062) and others, possibly the other 2, were found at (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)(S2)(S3).
