| Along
this valley are two sites, Lob Wells and Thorpe Common Rockshelter.
George Gwynne-Griffiths (then George White) excavated both
of these sites during the 1960s. From Lob Wells he recovered
artefacts from the Late Upper Palaeolithic through to the
Roman period. Thorpe Common provided rich evidence for more
than one phase of use as a camp site during the Mesolithic
after the last Ice Age. Associated with the most recent of
these camps was a series of limestone blocks arranged in a
semi-circular plan. These blocks may have held down some form
of windbreak. |
