Description: | Flint thumbnail scraper, almost circular in plan, lozenge-shaped in profile, and semi-circular in section. The distal end and lateral margins have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off at the base of the bulb of percussion. The flint is a mottled dark grey colour with white specs, probably made from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is 1:1.Bond illustrates a similar example on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.6, which is dated to the Beaker period, and another on page 154, Fig.5.138, No.4, which is dated to the Bronze Age.
