Full Description
PRN 63501
Archaeological evaluation (trenching) was undertaken during the excavation of a new soke dyke on land at Branston Island, Branston and Mere. Two worked flint flakes were recovered during the evaluation. These flakes have bulbs indicative of hard hammer percussion, which is very broadly characteristic of late Neolithic and early Bronze Age technologies. The flints were recovered approximately 120m north of a late Neolithic to early Bronze Age pit (PRN 63504) {1} {2}
