| Summary : A series of rock shelters in Carden Park. Mesolithic flints had been discovered in the area, prompting a two-week excavation in 1996. It was found that one of the rock ovrhangs had collapsed, effectively sealing the deposits which had formed in the shelter. The lowest levels appeared to be Mesolithic. Later levels appear not to have been associated with artefacts, although the brief interim is a little ambiguous on this point. Reported finds include Mesolithic artefacts, a Neolithic polished axe fragment, Beaker and other Early Bronze Age potsherds plus some animal bone. |
