8, Side and end scraper, cortex running down the length of the right side of the artefact, the bottom and left side have abrupt stepped roughly knapped direct retouch. Brownish grey colour, there is the remains of a patina in the top section of the dorsal, therefore this flint was reused from a much earlier piece. Date, the side and end scraper is Bronze Age, the original flint tool is unknown as no diagnostic parts remain.
