Full Description
Approximately 300 flints collected from cattle tracks below south-facing crags to the south of Mains of Waterton. The possibility exists that some of this material is derived from the crags by slumping. Finds include two barbed and tanged arrowheads (20mm and 25mm long), four cores (30-50mm long), four rough hewn quartsite-type arrowheads, 25 bulb spalls (25mm long), 60 small knappings, 150 flint chips (some possibly microliths), three large flints (130 x70mm), ten burned flints and six tools.
