Full Description
A Bronze Age straight-sided scraper was recovered as a surface find by Mr P.J. Vines. It is a finely flaked, inifacially pointed flint tool which resembles a rough-out for an arrowhead, except for the lack of any retouch on the ventral surface. In general such pieces have two retouched sides converging to a point, usually offset from the main flake axis, and are interpreted as knives or straight-sided scrapers. They are of additional interest since they are often in burials, however, no burial are known from the immediate vicinity. The nearest being recorded from Sheepen (0.5km) and Chitts Hill (2km).<1><2>
