Details Flint working area. A large quantity of worked flint, including cores and a scatter of very small pieces have been recorded at this site. It appears to be an in-situ knapping floor, and sits on patch of old beach revealed by the movement of sand. During a field work exercise an anvil stone and a barbed and tanged arrowhead was found. Site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey observed a small area of exposed raised beach full of struck flint (Mesolithic). The remainder of the area was covered by a thick layer of sand.
