Prehistoric remains are undoubtedly scarcer in tiie county of 

 Durham than in the adjacent counties of Yorkshire and North- 

 umberland. It is therefore perhaps worth while recording- the 

 occurrence of flint implements on the Durham coast a few miles 

 north of Hartlepool. On the north side of the stream which 



Flint Implemsnts from thi Durham Co tst 



runs through Crimdon Dene, and about three miles north of 

 Hartlepool, are some high banks of glacial drift partly covered 

 up with blown sand ; in certain patches where the sand has been 

 removed we came across many broken flint pebbles, rough 

 •chipping-s of flint, and one g-ood scraper (No. i). All were
