How Tallon Flints

Flint tools made in Prehistoric times, found during the excavation of a round barrow, (burial mound) at How Tallon. Some of the flints were placed with the burials; others were already buried in the soil from which the barrow was built. This flint is a Neolithic arrowhead and was probably already in the soil when the barrow was made.
