Marsden, Velvet Beds or Camel Island, flints

On Velvet Island, at the north end of Marsden Bay, in a thin deposit of reddish boulder clay, Gibbs reported the discovery of flakes and chips of flint, and a gunflint. He went on to say, "This clay is at a much lower level than the corresponding deposit on the adjoining cliffs". Miket added to the finds from this spot two flints, "said to have been collected in the 1930s by Dr. A. Raistrick".
