Full Description
ND35NW 41 331 575 and 329 581
Both ND 331 575 and ND 329 581 were located in proximity to the Keiss Links, both being situated in the lee of the dunes some distance inland.
ND 331 575 was a concentrated scatter of flint and quartz material, mostly debitage which indicated the primary working of beach flint, the presence of a number of flint blades probably indicates a Neolithic date.
ND 329 581 was a concentrated scatter of material. again this material consisted of primary debitage, cores and a few worked pieces. In particular the presence of a kite-shaped scraper probably indicates a late Neolithic date, since these implement forms have strong Grooved ware associations.
