Full Description
A flint implement, found in a trench being dug at Inkersall, was brought to the author by Mr H Minchin of Staveley, early in 1947. It is a flaked tool, 3" long and 'sharpened' to a cutting edge on one side. It was, no doubt, a knife and undoubtedly some thousands of years old. Flint does not occur naturally in the area. (1)
Dr A Court, Wingerworth, could remember nothing of this implement. It is not in his possession. No further information was gained in field investigation. (2)
