Full Description
PRN 36602
An archaeological watching brief at the junction between the A1 and Harlaxton Road, near Grantham retrieved a small assemblage of Neolithic to Bronze Age flint implements and debitage. The finds were recovered fro the topsoil and included two scrapers and a group of blades dating to the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. A mixture of tools, utilized flakes and debitage, the collection indicates a prehistoric presence either on or close to the site. The potential of this assemblage is raised by the association with the prehistoric ritual landscape immediately west of the site (PRN 33382).{1}{2}
