Abstract: |
A large flint collection, amounting to over 3500 pieces, was brought to the attention of the author towards the end of 2009. Collected between 1972 and 1995 by a husband-and-wife team, Geoff and Margaret Appleyard, and their two daughters, Sue and Jennie, of Wrose, Bradford, it all comes from a group of six adjoining fields N of Thirlsey Farm centred approximately on SE 9805 9208 at 185m O.D., on the extreme NE fringe of the North York Moors overlooking Scalby, a few km NW of Scarborough and the present coastline. The fields, covering a total of over 30ha, are all on land that slopes and drains gently southwards between the 190m and 170m contours from Silpho Brow until it drops off abruptly into the steep finger-like gorges of Thirlsey Bottom flanking Crossdales and Lowdales Becks, tributaries of the River Derwent. |
