Neolithic Tool
flint, retouched flake, 1" across at blunt end
3rd Millenium B.C.
found at Hacksness
Hacksness, the site of a Neolithic settlement, forms the Eastern shore of Stove Bay.
Archaeologist Raymond Lamb wrote about this site in a field visit during the summer of 1979.
" Erosion very active. Site marked at bank's top by rich growth of nettles. many masonry structures including ends of walls and occupation deposit in face but close inspection impossible at this time of year because of concentration of fulmar nests in the stonework".
