Continuing excavation of Mesolithic site by R Ellaby: so far c 15000 pieces of flint recovered, mostly from an oval area c 18 by 12m, around the edge of which four hearth groups have been located. The flints include 150 microliths, mostly small scalene triangles; tools are rare, the commonest being truncated flakes with notably only two dubious scrapers. Cooking pits contained calcined bone, some of roe deer, from which it is hoped to obtain radiocarbon dating for the site. (182)
