Description: | A re-touched flint flake tool of probable Mesolithic date. The implement has a horizontal upper edge and a small portion of the original core platform. There is a bulb of percussion and emanating ripples. The flint is roughly semi-circular and has been re-touched along its convex outer edge. On the left hand side (as you look at it) is a small semi-circular notch, which has been deliberately created by the removal of several small chips. Portions of the cortex remain on the right and left hand sides. The reverse is bulbous and has not been re-touched. The flint is a dark grey colour. It measures 35.9mm wide by 29mm high and 9.4mm thick. It weighs 7.97g.
