a small piece of iron sandstone. It would seem that a flint knapper 

 must have worked beside this fire, scattering round him broken 

 and useless flints, and finally leaving behind him his worthless 

 tools, the remnants of his meal, and broken cooking pot. 



A similar but smaller hearth was found in the centre of the 

 camp; it was 18in. in diameter and 9in. deep. In this hearth 

 with the charcoal there were several large pieces of coarse brownish 

 pottery with an impressed finger-nail ornament, some burnt flints, 

 some charred shells of hazel nuts and a small piece of iron sand- 

 stone. On the edge of the hearth was an irregularly shaped piece 

 of sarsen stone, 9|in. x 4|in. Scattered round were a few flint 

 chips and one well worked round scraper. It is a little curious 

 that pieces of iron sandstone should have been found in both these 

 hearths. A piece of similar stone was also found 9ft. deep in the 

 eastern ditch in Section •' C."
