Summary
Two pieces of worked flint were recorded durnig the Infirmary Field excavations between 1912 and 1917, they are probably prehistoric.
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.
