Abstract:		 During a watching brief in June 2012 several pieces of waterlogged timber and flints potentially of Mesolithic date were exposed. Once the timbers had been inspected off-site it was clear that one piece of oak (1.70m long x 0.26m width x 0.24m depth) was carved with a series of parallel running and alternating zig-zags as well as concentric ellipses on its rounded end. Radiocarbon dates indicated that the timber dates to the Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic. If the carving is determined to be the result of human agency, it will make the find of national and potentially international significance. In December 2013 the timber was moved to York Archaeological Trust to undergo conservation work by Ian Panter. Once conservation is complete the timber will be added to the National Museum Wales collection after it was donated by the landowner in 2012. Au/SH
