page 168 note 3 A fragment of what Smith believed might be another, about 3.6 in. in diameter, was found in 1937 at Little Witcombe, close to Barnwood, in a group of relics now in Mrs. Clifford's possession and kindly shown to me by her, from an apparently ancient bog-deposit, containing, as Mrs. E. M. Megaw has been good enough to report, fen or forest peat: these comprise worked flints and quartzite pebbles, animal bones and teeth, two pieces of human skull with incised markings, and two flat sherds of hard, brownish, pitted coarse pottery, seemingly not older than the Iron Age. The fragment is of conglomerate, and might be from a rotary quern, but the diameter seems curiously small.
