|NEOLITHIC - NEW STONE - AGE, 4000 BC
Stone tools found on the Bancroft Mausoleum site are evidence of short periods of activity during the Neolithic. Amongst the tools found was a traverse (chisel) shaped arrow head used for hunting birds, and two ground stone axes .
Stacey Farm's Neolithic Settlement
The original site of Stacey Farm, the later farm is now Milton Keynes Museum, was also an ideal landscape for farming around 2130-1530 BC. A Neolithic farmstead dominated the land occupying an area that was previously woodland, cleared possibly by axes such as those found at Bancroft.
