What is recorded here

A major assemblage of flint artifacts and a stone axe found during systematic field collecting and excavation on Paddy's Hill in the early 1980s. A total of 2, 809 artifacts were classified from the site (Keeley 1989-90, 65-80, Keeling and Keeley 1994, 1-24). These included cores, blades, arrowheads and scrapers. They range in date from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age, the most frequently occurring finds being Neolithic in date (Flanagan 1984, 12-18). The only structural evidence was two pits, the contents of which, produced dates of 4120+70 cal. BC and 4040+70 cal. BC. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
