Description: | The core has been knapped from flint which now has a yellow/cream coloured patina. The core is a sub-conical shape in profile. However the tip has been removed, but possibly not as a rejuvination flake. The sides have quite large wide negative flake scars, and a patch of cortex. There is a single long narrow scar which maybe a blade. It is the base which has the most flake scars which are parallel and tend to be long and narrow. It measures 24.7mm long and 46.7mm wide. It weighs 46.69g. The narrow scars may suggest a Mesolithic date, but this is not certain. There is a possibility it is also Neolithic.
