Worked flint, Portankill, Drummore

Portankill, Drummore
A small collection of worked flint, mainly rough flakes struck from cobbles of beach flint.  Typical of the many scatters of worked flint found along the coast of Wigtownshire, these pieces probably mark the site of a Mesolithic camp.  Collected by Ms A Reid in 1992.
