Fieldnotes
| I arrived at Little Gight looking for the remains of a souterrain. Sadly it was long gone it's stones possibly used as lintils etc. So nothing to see, very wrong. Fortunately on my arrival I was met by Roland Buchan who showed all round his farm. Over to St Devenick's Well, to something hopefully Tiompan will describe, to an old mill and some rocks but alas no rock art. Roland then mentioned he'd found some flints and arrow heads. So in his kitchen I manfully drank the cup of tea on offer and watched as my eyes grew wider and wider. Roland's partner, Margaret Middleton brought thru some boxes. I only looked at half the contents as we had a pressing engagement with a genius later on (more of that later). Scrapers, knifes and arrow heads from Mesolithic and Neolithic times appeared as if by magic. I've never seen nothing like this outside a museum and my own discoveries. More and more they kept appearing, a prehistoric treasure chest. I'll be back to take foties of the rest, I'm invited, so I'll put them up at a later date. First a pressing meeting with an extraordinary gentleman and things that I've never witnessed before. 28/06/2011. |

| I turned my laptop on this morning, read this fieldnote and mouth dropped open at your photos. What a rare and thrilling experience - couldn't happen to a more deserving person. |
