‘The small, but not insignificant, collection of flint from plot 51 contained a number of cores and waste flakes but no tools. A scan of this material suggested a possible Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date. The material was generally fresh and unpatinated and was concentrated within a specific c. 50m length of the pipeline route.’
