| Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken at Tyttenhanger quarry in advance of gravel extraction and associated groundworks. 173 flint objects were three-dimensionally recorded, and many more unstratified flints were recovered. The finds were predominantly blades, flakes, cores and core fragments, with some retouched forms. Typologically these almost certainly dated from the Mesolithic period, though it was possible that some pieces represented later Neolithic or Bronze Age activity. No independent dating was available.
