Lynford Quarry is the location of a well-preserved in-situ Middle Palaeolithic open-air site near Mundford, Norfolk. The site, which dates to approximately 60,000 years ago, is believed to show evidence of hunting by Neanderthals. The finds include the in-situ remains of at least nine woolly mammoths, associated with Mousterian stone tools and debitage. The artefactual, faunal and environmental evidence were sealed within a Middle Devensian palaeochannel with a dark organic fill. Well preserved
