Portchester, Hampshire, 1/11/1974
Artefact no 4049a , Thin flake embedded in a lump of the calcrete. This site was later investigated by Arthur Ap Simon. It is referred to as Red Barns.
Artefact no 4049b , Finishing flake in mint condition save slight patination. Some calcrete still adheres.
On our return from France we meet Chris Draper and he shows us the unusual Acheulian site on the slopes below the level at 30m identified as a marine platform. Artifacts are cemented within a breccia and his collection suggests to me a hand-axe manufacturing place.
