Monument record MDR101 - Flint scatter, Staker Hill, Hartington Upper Quarter

Micah Salt collected nearly a hundred pieces of Neolithic flint, including a worn horse-shoe scraper and seven trimmed flakes in the vicinity of a rough spot in a ploughed field at Staker Hill. The adjacent fields yielded few or no flints. It was thought that the fragments were too few to indicate factories of 'any permanent character'.
