Ancient Earthwork in Epping Forest. 225 
several of the flakes had manifestly been struck off from the 
same block of flint, and had been left as useless debris on the 
spot where found. After an examination of the flakes from 
this position, Mr. Worthington Gr. Smith replaced one flake 
on to a second somewhat larger one, from which it had been 
originally struck. This replaced flake is illustrated (one half 
actual size) at fig. I. 10 
The front of the two conjoined flakes is shown in the left- 
hand bottom figure, the side at b, the top at c, and the line 
of junction at d d. Behind e e are two cones of percussion, 
one belonging to each flake, and at f is the depression into 
which the cone of the missing frontal flake at one time fitted. 
The fractured part of the flint is deep chocolate-brown and 
lustrous, and the back of the flint is dull ocliraceous; the 
flakes are undoubtedly artificial, and as old as the rampart 
of the camp. 
A few days after, a member of the 
Committee, Mr. H. A. Cole, on looking 
over the flakes and conjoined examples, 
replaced a third flake on to the back of 
the two as conjoined by Mr. Smith. 
Fig. 2 represents (one half actual size) 
the back of the conjoined flakes, and a 
is the flake replaced by Mr. Cole ; the 
top of this flake was broken at the time „ _ . . , _ ,

Among the flakes was a rude but cleverly chipped flint 
chisel or celt (No. 20), not polished in any part, but exhibiting 
traces of the original “crust” or “bark” of the flint in one 
or two positions. This instrument is of somewhat remarkable 
form, one side edge being acute, and the other flat; and some 
doubt exists as to whether it was really intentionally chipped 
into its present shape, or whether it is simply unfinished on
