Description: | A flint knife which probably dates from the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The knife is formed on a partially cortical flake which is 78.5mm long, 43.3mm wide and 17.2mm thick. It is sub-triangular in plan with a rounded distal end. The left edge is abruptly retouched along the whole side and there is also some retouch on the right side. The flint is high quality and is dark grey, almost black, with some lighter inclusions. The flint is damaged which may be the result of water action since it was found near the sea.
