Description: | A broken retouched flint flake of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of mid-brown flint has snapped, leaving only the distal end. The fairly large bulb on the ventral surface suggests the use of a hard hammer. One the dorsal surface there are several long narrow flaking scars. The lateral edges appear to have been retouched but have also sustained some damage. The retouch is short and semi-abrupt.
Dimensions: 19.5mm by 17.8mm by 6.8mm
