252 DR. C B. PLOWRIGHT ON NEOLITHIC MAN IN WEST NORFOLK. 
Further search in and around the pit has revealed the type of 
implement which the former workers here manufactured, namely, 
roughly-trimmed celts of various types. In addition to these 
finished implements, however, what are of almost equal interest, 
specimens were found in various stages of manufacture. Like the 
Cissbury celts the last-named differ in type : some are of equal 
width at both ends, others have one end broader and more finished 
than the other, as in a specimen found by Mr. W. Whittaker some 
years ago on the surface of a field at Massingham, and deposited 
by him in the Museum. This was doubtless fashioned by the 
same race of men who worked on Massingham Common, and who 
have left so many flakes and spalls as mementos of their industry. 
Whether the most highly finished implement, the polished celt, 
was ever fabricated here is at least doubtful. Polished celts are 
not very common in West Norfolk, although they have been met 
with in many places ; two have been found at Pentney, one of 
which is in the Museum, the other in the collection of Mr. 
R Fitch. A less finished specimen was found some years ago on 
Figs. 1 and 2. Two rough-hewn celts from Massingham.
