Ok, hopefully you have come across of hollow flints(paramoudras), how about flint circles and giant flint backbones? Try this: http://www.geulogy.com/introdis-beestonbump.html

Interesting site.

Saw this one a while back. Flint Circles can be made by man too. This one apparently sold for a small fortune, so I guess makes the pile of flint in my garden a work of art.

That pile of flint nodules and debris that a knapper lives with is a work of art, along with the blood, sweat and pain.

Thinking if I make a circle out of a pile of debitage, perhaps they'd put it in the Tate too.

I should be rich - my kids love making stone piles - I have seen the flint with holes in while metal detecting on some fields in Oxfordshire.
