A sandy field which is very prolific in late type flints. {1} An important prehistoric site at Scotton discovered in 1934 by D. N. Riley and J. Walshaw. Finds include Mesolithic to Bronze Age flints, including Mesolithic microliths, scrapers, angle-burins, leaf-shaped and barbed and tanged arrowheads, a dagger, discoidal and plano-convex knives, some fragments of Beaker pottery and plough stones. In 1964 Harper reported that much of the material from the site was held at Scunthorpe Museum. The area was under plough but nothing of interest was found during fieldwalking. {2}{3} In 1978 D. Craven reported additional finds including 3 Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowheads, 2 early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowheads, 4 flint blades and many waste flakes. {4}{5} Three polished stone axes from the site (now in Scunthorpe Museum) were thin sectioned between 1946 and 1973, one was of quartz diorite, the other two fragmentary axes were of group VI. {6}
