Heavily patinated length 59mm, width 13.5mm, probably Mesolithic or Neolithic in date. 3: Small heavily patinated flake, 37mm in length and 12mm in width, 6mm in thickness. 4: Small heavily patinated flake slightly fire-cracked and snapped, parallel flake scars on dorsal face. Length 30mm, width 21mm and thickness 6mm. 5: Flake, heavily patinated with flake scars on dorsal face. length 33mm, width 26mm and thickness 5mm. 6: As above, sub-triangular in shape and with slight retouch on broad distal end, lenth 48mm, width 28mm and thickness 7.5mm. 7: Irregular flake with hinge fracture.
