Description: | A later Mesolithic flint microlith of Clark's type D, (Geometric, rombic point). The microlith is sub-square in plan and is 17.7mm long, 12.4mm wide and 3.2mm thick. It is formed on a snapped bladelet and has been retouched on the distal end and both sides. A similar example is number 20 on page 93 of Butler's (2005) Prehistoric Flintwork. The flint is mottled light grey and white, and is well patinated. Microliths were used to make composite tools consisting of many microliths set into one setting.
