Description: | A flint piercer made on an irregular tertiary flake. Retouch is only present on the ventral surface around the piercing projection and half-way up both ventral surface sides. Further removals are present on the proximal dorsal end around the platform. Both the bulb and the concoidal rings are present. The raw material shows some patches of white patination over a dark grey core, suggesting a chalk downland origin, probably to the southeast towards the Ridgeway. The piercer is 31.6mm long, 18.69mm wide and 6.5mm thick and weighs 3.4gms. The piercing tip is 4.15mm in length. It is suggested that this tool dates from the middle to late Neolithic period.
