Description: | A flint awl which is formed on a tertiary flake which is sub-triangular in plan. The flake is 24.5mm long, 21.8mm wide and 6.1mm thick. The awl is formed at the proximal end of the right side by taking removals from the proximal and right sides. Both sides of the awl are also retouched with very fine removals. Cortex survives on the left side. This tool probably dates from the Early Neolithic. A similar example can be seen in Butler (2005) on page 129, number 1. The flint is closely grained and is light grey in colour. The flint is damaged which may be the result of water action since it was found near the sea.
