Find Spot record 7010 - Prehistoric flint from Hamilton House
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Single piece of worked flint, thought to be a scraper tool, was found during archaeological investigations at Hamilton House in 2006. However it is likely the find was residual.
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 and are usually not suggestive of activity in the immediate area.
