Find Spot record 6989 - Prehistoric flint from the Deanery Field
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A small quantity of prehistoric flint was recovered during archaeological investigations at the Deanery Field between 1924 and 1936. The flint comprised a single blade and four flakes.
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.
