Description: | Incomplete "pick" or axe of Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date. Length 202mm, width 70mm and 52mm thick. Weight 826g.The pick which is made of chert has a flat butt and the tip of the cutting edge is broken and missing. The break appears to be recent. The pick has three faces and is largely sub-triangular in cross-section. One of the faces is a natural fracture. Other picks of similar form have been discovered in the Isle of Wight. However, most of these are made of flint rather than chert.
