Description
- Description
- Leaf-shaped grey flint arrowhead. NB "Saverock, St. Ola" at HY/426126. In about 1865 a number of stone cists were destroyed in a field at Saveroch, St. Ola (Cursiter 1885, p.137), presumably BA. Later found in the field were a double-ended quartz axe head, the butt of a polished stone axe head of granite, a perforated stone hammerhead minus the ends, several small hammerstones, flint chips and fragments of an ornamented clay vessel. This flint may be from this assemblage.
