Sir John Evans listed ‘implements’ from St Ippollitts in a catalogue published in 1893, but he may have been referring to a different handaxe, as he cited William Ransom, its collector, as the source of information. The National Monuments Record (number 362287) locates Palaeolithic discoveries at Thistley Farm. It cites oral evidence and unarchived correspondence, while also listing a collection of objects including this handaxe separately (number 362258). These are probably the same discoveries, the former being assigned a grid reference close to the village centre in the absence of more detailed information.
