FullStatementOfSignificance:
Although the lithics are dispersed, the observed stone tools comprise a significant sample of formal tools. It is accordingly recommended that a collection of the lithics should be made. A small biface was also recorded. Similar small handaxes are considered to be an iconic tool type of transitional Earlier Stone Age (ESA) and MSA assemblages. The range of tool types, the diversity of raw materials as well as the presence of formal tools types reflect various instances of site utilization over a very long period of time. As the lithics were surface finds it is moreover likely that sub-surface assemblages may be present. The site has some scientific and historical significance, and as a result is deemed to be of Medium Significance i.e. Generally Protected B (GP.B)
