Flint blades, Mark Farm, Castle Kennedy
Mark Farm, Castle Kennedy
A selection of short blades. Some were used as simple
knives. Others would have been reworked into arrowheads,
points and scrapers.
Hundreds of flint tools were found in ploughed fields at Mark in
the 1930s. They mark the site of a fairly large Neolithic
settlement. Many of these flints were collected by local farm
workers and given to the local minister, R. G. Anderson.
