Under the heading, "Cliff Tops towards Marsden Bay" Gibbs recorded flakes and chips. "Some coast fields bear quantities of flint, most of it ballast, probably carted up with seaweed from the shore". Wymer noted an unknown quantity of flint flakes/blades found by Raistrick on the cliffs near Marsden.

Miket records that, in 1963, 130 flint flakes were found on this stretch of coast, "mostly broken fragments but includes eighteen struck flakes, and possibly one core/hammerstone". Wymer, under the heading Marsden and Trow Rocks, reports that in Sunderland Museum, ex W. Dodds, there were 4 cores and 32 blades/flakes. It is not clear whether these two groups, in spite of different quantities and descriptions, are really one. Miket restricts the distance between the two grid refs to NZ 36 NE only, but there seems no logic to this since Marsden itself is on NZ 46 SW - hence the second grid ref above.

At/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".

Wymer recorded a blade or flake found in this area and donated by Raistrick to Skipton Museum. Not seen by Young.

Miket records the discovery, before 1965, of 55 flints including points and cores, from this spot. Three of the flints showed signs of use, and two are cores. Young does not seem to have seen this group.

A few flints have been found over the years in the general Marsden area, the precise findspots having not been recorded. Two small flakes, each showing a bulb of percussion, were found in 1904, and are in the Sunderland Museum. Wymer notes a blade/flake donated by Raistrick to the Craven Museum, Skipton, and Miket two flints said to have been found in the 1930s by Raistrick, and also in the Craven Museum. Same flints? n unknown number of flints found at Marsden in Aug. 1969, and Marsden Colliery (site uncertain) 10 March 1963, are in the Wilf Dodds Collection now in the Bowes Museum (1985.2.120, 197).

Gibbs recorded the discovery of a flake and chips in red soil at Marsden Quarries. In 1964-5 "a scatter of Mesolithic flints including flakes and cores" was seen by M. Chapel, and either not picked up or not given to the museum, at much the same grid ref. The OS quotes museum records for this information, while Miket quotes the OS. Young adds a note that W. Dodds had seen Mesolithic material from this area.

Gibbs apparently recorded the discovery of scrapers, cores, flakes and chips at Marsden New Road, "in the cuttings near the railway station". There is a slight ambiguity in the way he set out this information, and he seems to conflate it with material from Hob and Joan Orchard, SMR 853. Wymer notes a single blade/flake which is said to have come from Marsden Station, and to have been deposited in Craven Museum, Skipton, by Raistrick.

Gibbs recorded scrapers, cores, flakes and chips under the heading of "Marsden New Road", "with some hand-worked pieces in the field below Hob and Joan Orchard".

In 1923 a flint tanged and barbed arrowhead was found in the school garden at Marsden. Miket gives the above grid ref., and the dimensions - length 34 mm, width 12 mm, thickness 4 mm. This is probably, but not certainly, the same as Young's F102 - "Stray find. Barbed and tanged arrowhead in grey flint. Square tang, barbs and tip broken. Retouched around both edges only. Max surviving length 33 mm, breadth 18 mm. Max thickness 4 mm".
