Ok third try so far to post this.
All items were found in a natural water run off area near Prunn. The gully runs for well over 2 kilometers down a steep slope along the mountain to the river which runs through Prunn. To date I have made 3 visits to this site in 2 years and only covered maybe the first 0.5KM distance from the top.
Loads of Loom top soils, erroded away to Limestone and chalk Jurassic material and flint deposits, which is all tilled and broken up due to Glacial movements.
The area is unstable and dangerous. I will not give out the location directly unless I am there the first time round to insure individuals are up to speed on the required safety and health issues. This is a physically grulling area and deceptively dangerous. Only if you are physically fit and properly equiped would I suggest anyone try this location.

Dear Galwin,
POD01 is presumably rather a flint concretion than a fossil. Such concretions are not uncommon in jurassic deposits. Did you ever check the hardness, e. g. on a glass-surface ?
Cheers
