Summary

Description
English: B3098 looking east at Flinty Knapp The following suggests flint tools were being made in the stone age on a production line basis. If not here, at Belchalwell near Blandford Forum.

"The majority of the flints we have found are neolithic in origin, with a few probably from the early bronze age. Most come from a small area of approx. 4 acres, within which hundreds of sherds of knapped black flint can be found on the surface of the ploughed soil, and the finds area has a very definite edge, beyond which all trace of worked flint disappears. Oddly, very few identifiable tools have come from here though, leading us to believe that this was perhaps a site where flint tools were produced rather than used. The few tools found here have been of very poor quality, often unfinished, and frequently the flint has been flawed."
