Full Description
An Early Bronze Age flint dagger was found in 1786, upon a small hill in the neighbourhood of Matlock, called Blake Lowe. (1,2). Blakelow Hill upon which there is no surface evidence of antiquity is at SK 254593. No further information. (3). Marsden believes this dagger came from an earlier ploughing of the barrow at SK 25455939 [SMR 9610], prior to Carrington's excavation of 1850. There seems little reason to doubt this. (4).
