Description

Extensive study of the results of field-walking and excavation at Beer Head in South Devon. The aims were to determine the nature and extent of prehistoric stone working around the headland and to try to suggest the scale of flint importation and thus gauge the importance of Beer head to prehistoric communities of the south-west peninsula.
