Abstract:		 The test pitting took place on 2-4 November 2018. 37 test pits were excavated and 305 flints recovered by 27 adult and 6 children as well as two local primary school classes of 34 children, teachers and adult helpers. 37 test pits were excavated on what may be resolved by surveying as three river terraces in the field. Although no features were excavated the lithics from the TPs comprised mainly flakes and blades as well as a number of small flakes and spalls (from burning or frost damage). Just seven cores were found, from five TPs in the SE corner of the field. The cores are varied in form with three single platform blade cores, one opposed platform blade core, one with blade and flake removals from two platforms made at a right angle, and there are two core fragments. The blade technology demonstrated on the cores is reflected in the types of blank produced with a high proportion of blades (41%) to flakes (59%) from the test pits. Several retouched tools were also recovered. These were concentrated in the SE corner with five from TP1 including a narrow blade microlith, an oblique truncation, a knife form, and two edge retouched blades. A notched blade came from TP15. Most of these are likely to date to the Mesolithic but the knife form made on a broad blade and with blunting edge retouch down one side may date to the Neolithic.
