Description: | A lithic tool; a retouched flint point which probably dates from the Early Neolithic period. The pint is sub-triangular in plan and is 32.3mm long, 14.2mm wide and 6.6mm thick. It is retouched with semi-abrupt retouch along the left and the distal right sides. The butt and the proximal right end would have been where the haft attached. The tool is formed on a tertiary flake of mottled mid grey and brown flint. This tool would have been used for hunting, but whether as a projectile or a stabbing weapon is not clear.
