What is recorded here

Situated at the edge of a storm beach some 800m S of the main beach at Fanore and c. 280m SW from another shell midden (CL001-019----). Discovered in 2011 during field walking. Deposits of seashells and heat-shattered stone had become eroded during high tides and material had dispersed over a 20m square area. The predominant shellfish were common periwinkle and limpet. Stone axes and roughouts, suggestive of manufacture, and similar to CL001-019---- were also found. A test excavation in August 2012 (Licence no. 12E0095) yielded radiocarbon dates from the Later Mesolithic and c. 900 years earlier than the midden to the N.
