Description: | A notched flint flake of probable late Mesolithic date. This piece is one of four notched flints reported from this site (see also PAS record nos. BH-7F3678, 7F3E38 and 7F3F74); other flints of a similar nature and date have also previously been reported.This implement is irregular in shape, crudely-made and retains part of the original cortex. At the top is a small, angled portion of the core platform and, below this, on the concave reverse, a bulb of percussion and rippling can be seen. The upper surface is very uneven and has two or three broad flake removal scars. A small amount of re-touching has been carried out at the top of the left hand vertical edge (as you look at it), whilst a large notch occupies the centre point of the right hand vertical edge. The flint is dark greyish-brown in colour and has little patination.The implement measures 36.8mm high, by 22.1mm wide and 8.2mm thick; the weight is 6.42g.
