Seven sites producing worked flint found by Judie English in fieldwalking. She notes that all are on soils warmer and better drained than the surrounding clay, and that very few primary flakes were found, suggesting preliminary working at source, presumably on the Downs. At Snoxhall (TQ 060 373) some 450 Mesolithic flints were found, including six scrapers, one knife, five burins and eight microliths. 76 Mesolithic flints, including one microlith, were found at Knowle (TQ 055 382). 30 worked flints, including a microburin, were discovered in Lower Canfold Wood (TQ 082 395). At Vachery High Park (TQ 064 375) some 30 worked flints were found, including a possible awl, a knife and a scraper, all of probable Neolithic/EBA date. Another 30 worked flints, including a polished axe fragment, were found at Rydinghurst (TQ 028 389), 20 worked flints including a scraper were discovered at Collins Farm (TQ 076 360) and six worked flints including a scraper were found at Wales Wood (TQ 085 380).
