Description: | Flint short end and side scraper, ovate in plan, flat and semi-circular in profile and in section. The proximal end and right edge of the dorsal face are unimarginally reworked. The flint is a mottled light grey colour, with iron-staining on the surface of both faces. Much of the cortex survives on the dorsal face which suggests that this is made from a primary flake and probably was knapped from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2.Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples of end scrapers on page 56, Fig.5.22, No.L5 and page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F123 which is dated from the Early to the Middle Bronze Age.
