| Animal Bone | 9 | 45 | Pig - metapodial (distally unfused). Dog - left tibia (probably a puppy as proximal and distal epiphyses unfused). Chicken - complete coracoid (anomalous bone growth on medial portion indicative of a healed fracture or infection) (Dr Hannah Russ, January 2019) |
| Daub | 10 | 87 | |
| Shell | 6 | 127 | Oyster. Edible Oyster (Ostrea edulis) MNI = 4 (Dr Hannah Russ, January 2019) |
| Flint | 3 | 20 | 2 flakes (10.9g, 1 complete, 1 edge damage, 1 patinated (mixed periods)). 1 end-and side scraper (7.9g complete and patinated). Made on a hard-hammer struck flake and has a regular abrupt retouch applied inversely at the distal end directly along the left edge. Retains cortex along the left edge forming a natural back. Lightly patinated in areas and this has been removed by subsequent retouching, suggesting it was made on a recycled flake. Made on light yellowish-brown flint with thin buff-coloured cortex. (26.8 x 28.7 x 8.5 mm: late bronze Age/ Iron Age) (Dr JT Hogue December 2018) |
