Description: | The item appears to be a combination of tools that has been knapped from a mottled grey coloured flint. The tools appear to be a point/awl and a semi-circular shaped blade edge. The tool probably dates to the Neolithic period. In plan the tool is a sub trapezoidal shape in plan. The striking platform forms the upper narrow edge. One side edge has been re-touched forming the curvilinear blade edge. How effective this edge may be as a blade is not certain as the blade is steeply angled towards the edge. The opposite side of the tool has an elongated lower corner, possibly forming a point or awl. The tip of this corner is missing. The tool measures 38.91mm long, 31.05mm wide and 9.04mm thick. It weighs 9.9g.
