Description: | Flint horseshoe scraper, semi-circular in plan, profile and section. The distal end and lateral margins have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off just at the apex of the bulb of percussion, which has sinced fractured through exposure. The flint is a mottled light grey to buff colour, probably made from a local beach pebble, with iron staining on half of the ventral face. The length to breadth ratio is about 7:6.Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 57, Fig.5.25; page 126, Fig.5.113, Type 5; and on page 147, Fig.5.133, No.F164, which is dated to the Beaker period.
