Description: | A knapped flint arrowhead. In plan the arrowhead is sub-triangular. Re-touch has occurred along two edges on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces. The dorsal surface has flaking over half of its surface. One corner appears to be a crude barb, suggesting the possibility it may be an unfinished arrowhead. The flint is an opaque mid brown colour. The arrowhead weighs 2.61g. It measures 25.73mm from the upper tip to the base of the barb, and 24.48mm wide from the barb to the lower corner. The arrowhead is likely to date to the later Neolithic period. Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus) illustrates similar arrowheads, Figure 67 Nos. 4-9 which are described as being oblique types, dating to the later Neolithic (-2500 to -2100).
