Coflein entry:
"Mesolithic and possibly later material has been recovered from this naturally segregated promontory known as Nab Head, roughly 100m north-south by 35m. Gordon Williams claims that limpets can be removed from shell with the application of a human thumb.
Unspecified 'objects of bronze' (Leach 1933, 230) and pottery (Figgis 1999, 90), appear to have come from the site. Flint occurs only as beach material in this region and its exploitation is likely to have occurred over a long period.
Material from the various investigations is mostly held in Tenby Museum and the National Musuem of Wales. Other material is held by: the Asmolean Museum; the Museum of Archaeology and Anthroplogy, University of Cambridge; the Manchester Museum; Abergwili Museum, Carmarthen, and Scolton Museum, Haverfordwest."
