Rookery Farm, Lower Kingswood

Excavation by P Harp of Plateau and J Scott-Jackson of Oxford University of five test pits recovered 25 pieces of Lower Palaeolithic struck flint, and a moderate quantity of post-glacial struck flint. The Palaeolithic flint was mainly debitage and mostly from ploughsoil, but also from the underlying clay-with-flints, and had no obvious clast orientation. Soil samples were taken for analysis. Fieldwalking by Plateau later in the year in the area recovered 61 Palaeolithic flints, a Mesolithic adze fragment, a Neolithic or Bronze Age flaked axe fragment, two Neolithic or Bronze Age pick fragments, and two Neolithic ground flint axe fragments.
