Full Description

A middle Bronze Age basal looped spearhead type III (currently in Scunthorpe museum) was found during dredging operations in 1937 at a natural ford across the River Till, reported by Mrs Rudkin. {1}{2} P. Davey reproduces a note provided by G.C. Knowles, the curator at Scunthorpe Museum, that discusses the circumstances of the finding of this spearhead and argues for a findspot from the river Till, on the parish boundary between Cammeringham and Stow. This is the preferred findspot. {3}
