Description: | A flint horseshoe scraper of probable late Neolithic to Beaker date. The implement has been made from a large flake and is roughly semi-circular with a narrow waisted section at the bottom. The convex upper suface has been achieved through the removal of three or four broad flakes the edges have been roughly re-touched. The reverse has broad negative flake removal scars and there is possibly a small angled section of the core platform at the narrow end of the implement. The flint is dark greyish-brown in colour. The object measures 44.4mm high by 41.3mm wide and 13.3mm thick. It weighs 30g.
