Only rarely in Europe do the surface remains of Neolithic flint
mines remain so dramatically for all to see as those located along
the South Downs and in the Breckland of England. Even within
England they represent a diminishing resource and only ten sites
have been recorded with any certainty. As examples of our earliest
industrial heritage they represent archaeological sites of the
first importance and have a special part to play in the history of
technology. However, despite a lengthy history of archaeological
investigation, they have rarely been considered nationally as a
class of monument. Although some sites such as Grime's Graves are
well known through excavation campaigns, others are known only
through obscure articles and unpublished archival material. Many of
those that survive as earthworks or cropmarks have never been
surveyed previously or accurately planned. Consequently, English
Heritage has compiled detailed plans of the surface areas of all of
the known flint mines and investigated the sites of other potential
examples. Using a combination of field survey, aerial photography
and archival research, this volume looks at each site in its own
right as a major and important complex and - for the first time -
offers a synthesis of the evidence to date.
