"15/9/1903 we (Passmore and Chandler?) opened the mound
above the creek, Coate Reservoir, just above where the little
S.E. stream runs into it, above the quarry, and found nothing.
The ground here is full of flint flakes, cores, pottery of a very
early period and bones" (1). Passmore's note appears to be that
referred to by Crawford who depicts an area 150m. N-S and 50m. E-W
on his 6", centred at SU 1776 8217. An undated annotation "worked
flints" accompanies his banding of the area (2). (1,2)

There is no mound in this area which is now grassland and part
of a Public Park. Passmore's collection of flints has not yet been
adequately identified and catalogued by the Ashmolean Museum, if
these are among them. Circumstantial evidence suggests a working
floor. (3)
