A very largeflake, rounded into a broad scraper, and about 5 inches in diameter, wasfound by myself at Warren Hill, and is now in the Christy Collection. Three-quarters of a mile to the north of the Warren Hill pits, and on the same ridge, but at a ratherhigher level, is High or WarrenLodge, distant about two miles fromMildenhall. To the south of thishouse, and by the side of the Thetfordroad, is a small pit on the slope of thehill, where, in the process of diggingclay for brick-making, a considerablenumber of worked flints have beenobtained, which have for the mostpart passed into the collection of theEev. W. Greenwell, , who hasfurnished me with particulars of the discovery. I have also visitedthe spot. The clay or brick-earth is red in colour, and rests upona chalky Boulder Clay, which is exposed farther up the hill. Itranges i
