J M Coles 1964
Mr Cormack indicated the area of the flint scatter (centred at NX 3332 4533) on the OS 6" map.
The finds are in Dumfries Museum but they are yet to be sorted and catalogued (A E Truckell, Dumfries Museum). Mesolithic flints are continually being discovered in this region, usually near the 50ft contour on the edge of the coastal cliff (W F Cormack, Royal Bank Buildings, Lockerbie).
