Description: | A knapped flint core. In plan the core is sub-semi-circular with a flat platform as the upper edge. In section it is a sub-oval which gradually decreases in size towards the base. The sides of the core have multiple negative flake scars. The core is made from a mottled mid grey/brown coloured flint. The core weighs 17.91g. It measures 24.1mm from the upper to the lower edge and 30.65mm wide.The core is likely to date to the Neolithic period. Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus) illustrates a similar core, Figure 47 Nos 3-5 which are described as being either two-platformed blade or flake cores, dating to the early Neolithic (-3500 to -2900).
