Small finds - Oblique Flint Arrowhead

I found this arrowhead near to Thetford Warren Lodge, in the run up to the survey proper, on forestry compartment Downham 3011. I found two other arrowheads - all of different types, on the same site. This might suggest that this high area was a favourite hunting spot during the later neolithic? The oblique type is usually dated to the Late Neolithic, maybe around 4,000 to 4,900 years before present. The site has been designated as Norfolk SMR 25968.
