The worked stone finds from the barrow T5, Burrington Combe
2019
Barrow T5 was originally excavated by the University of Bristol Spelaeological Society during the 1920s. This work was unsatisfactory and the site was reexcavted, this time carefully and completely by H. Taylor between 1949 and 1957. No final report was reproduced. This paper gives the background to the work and gives details of the non-flint worked stone implements, almost all of Ol;d red Sandstone (Portishead Formation) recovered from the site. The finds include polishers and one broken mould which indicate metalworking at the site, or nearby and two crude knives, one of sandstone and one of limestone.
