'Found in the first slitter on the right hand side of Gorge, by a man named Card, c.1900 was in the R.F. Parry Collection. Information from the Bulleid Cat.'. (1-2) The collection of the late R.F. Parry is in Wells Museum. It is uncatologued and there seems to be no means of determining whether it is complete. It includes a flat axe labelled 'from the Slitter Cave, Cheddar' (probably the Slitter leading to Long Hole, ST 45 SE 9), but there are no flint axes labelled with Parry's name. (3)
