At the proximal end is a portion of the flat core platform and an adjacent bulb scar. The dorsal surface retains much of the original cortex and has two small areas of re-touch, one at the proximal end and one at the distal. In both areas re-touch is non-invasive, comprising three or four shallow, narrow flakes. On the ventral surface there is a small area of invasive re-touch, located a short distance up from the distal end.The flint is a heavily patinated light blueish-grey colour. The tool measures 53.2mm long, 38.8mm wide and 10.6mm thick. The weight is 22.42g.
