Full Description
Lithic scatter discovered in October 2006 by Shannon Fraser. The site is an old vehicle track known to be bulldozed in the 1960s and reduced to a footpath in 2003 by pushing the spoil back over the track. The lithic scatter, one worked piece of quartz with retouch down one edge and two worked and burnt pieces of flint, were discovered in the path. Although not in situ they are unlikely to have moved far. Initial examination of the flakes suggested a prehistoric origin, later confirmed as most likely being Mesolithic. Site visit in July 2019 found no further artefacts along the footpath or associated erosion. Site visit in 2023 by members of the Mesolithic Deeside Project found three worked flints - a blade and two flakes.
