HER 836 - Neolithic flint axe, Reigate Heath
A fine example of a Neolithic flint axe was discovered on Reigate Heath in December 1955 by a boy from Reigate Grammar School. The flint is greyish white and the patina is of a similar colour. It is suggested that it is either local flint from the North Downs or a product of the Sussex flint factories.
