Description
A Bos primigenius (aurochs) horn core was found in a garden in Nightingale Road, donor Miss Burnet in 1930. The only available printed geological sheet of this area (BGS 1946) shows no alluvial deposits here. Although the species does occur in Pleistocene deposits it occasionally occurs on early post-glacial sites (B1).
[See CAS 00151 for a flint axe roughout also found in a garden in Nightingale Road and also donated in 1930. Could this be the same findspot?]. NGR to Nightingale Road.
