Full Description

A quantity of flint flakes and retouched pieces were found some years ago when this area was ploughed for afforestation. The retouched pieces include a fine sickle flint, a bifacially-retouched, small, lozenge-shaped arrowhead and, a petit-tranchet-derivative. The pieces all appear to be of 'Buchan' flint, being yellow, orange and red in colour, rather than the locally available poorer quality grey and white chert like material.
G Sutherland and G Harden 1987.
