Abstract
Middle Pleistocene deposits near Westbury-sub-Mendip have yielded flints which pose problems in the local geological context. Some of the flints show signs of having been worked by man and as such they may be artefacts. The flint-bearing layers contain a rich mammalian fauna of Cromerian age, which suggests that the artefacts may mark the earliest record to date (∼400,000–500,000 yr BP) of man's presence in Britain.
