Wonderful to see Rob. Well done. It is amazing that the Neolithic pottery survives in the soil as it is so poorly made. I would treasure these finds Rob. Well done again.

I have found a number of flint scatters over the years from mesolithic,neolithic and bronze age. These are small
fraction of what Ihave found.
