Derbyshire

Archaeologists have made the stunning discovery of a 5,500-year-old Stone Age village, home to Derbyshire's first farmers and potters. Ben Johnson and his team made the ancient find during a painstaking dig in Peak District fields, near Wirksworth.

The area around SK233501 Curzon Lodge, although heralded as a new find, has given up artefacts in the last 20-30 years..... The site is mentioned in Rodney Castleden's 'Neolithic Britain: New Stone Age Sites of England, Scotland and Wales' which lists fine flint neolithic arrowheads as being recovered from there.
