| Abstract: |
Survey and sample excavation was undertaken on the flint scatter on the south flank of Windmill Hill. The scatter, was shown to have originally have consisted of a series of overlapping scatters. Preliminary dating evidence suggested that much of the flint recovered was of Later Neolithic character. Geophysical survey of two areas within the flint scatter identified a large number of magnetic anomalies and of those tested most were found to relate to metal in the ploughsoil or minor irregularities in the subsoil. Two groups of Neolithic pits however were identified. A few test-pits arounf the Horslip and Windmill Hill long barrow recovered low quantities of worked flint. [Au(adp)] |
