Monument record BRD 020 - Post Medieval artefact scatter of flints and gunflints. (PMed)

Observation of large area (circa 150m N-S, 100m E-W), stripped prior to building, located `a very considerable quantity of flint, apparently associated with a depression in the ground about 6m across and 1m deep. The character of the flint itself was quite fresh and some of the artefacts were quite clearly gun flints, other flints in association and presumably of the same date could quite easily be mistaken for Neo blades & waste flakes'. Material probably consists of gun flint manufacturing waste used to fill the nearby depression. It seems unlikely, in view of distance of site from town, that this was a working site certainly no signs of permanent structures (S1).
Note: Possibly actual infilled PMed flint mine? Certainly close to known area of visible shafts (see BRD 095) and if cleared from town workshop site might expect other visible debris such as clay tobacco pipe fragments etc. Also thin Neo scatter of flints.
