Find Spot record 6987 - Bronze Age flint from Linenhall Stables
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Archaeological investigations at the site of the Linenhall Stables recorded a piece of worked flint resembling Early Bronze Age material recovered from Manchester Airport. The flint was recovered from later deposits.
Residual finds usually occur as a result of soil disturbance when the cutting of one feature removes finds from a lower and therefore earlier layer and re-deposits them closer to the surface.
