Archaeology Notes
NO13NE 115 centred 189 391.
NO 189 391 (centre) Forty-six struck lithic pieces, mainly flint, were recovered as a dispersed surface scatter over a period of several years by a river bailiff on regular patrol. The field is on the E bank of the River Isla opposite Herald Hill, a short distance from the terminus of the Cleaven Dyke. The most significant pieces are a Late Neolithic chisel-type arrowhead and two Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age plano-convex knives. PMAG acc. nos 1997.626-57.
From the same field, and collected with some of the lithics, came a small Neolithic polished stone axehead. PMAG acc. no. 1997.607.
