1) Semicircular scrapper length 13mm, width 22mm, thickness 7mm. Semicircular forward edge with direct semi-abrupt scaled flaking scars Multiple flaking scares no bulb on the ventral and the reverse is truncated. Mid brownish/grey flint. This artefact probably dates to the Bronze Age.
2) Burnt flint length 19mm, width 17mm, thickness 9mm. Cracking throughout the flint, one side is truncated. Light grey patina with off white patches. This object dates to the Prehistoric Period.
3) Microlith length 11mm, width 7mm, thickness 2mm. One arise on the dorsal, bulb missing from the ventral, the forward and rear ends have been truncated so the only the medial section remains. Light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic.
4) Possible microlith length 7mm, width 9mm, thickness 2mm. Two arises on the dorsal, soft hammered bulb on the ventral, this is truncated with only the proximal section remaining. Light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic.
5) Truncated blade length 18mm, width 11mm, thickness 3mm. Two arises on the dorsal, bulb missing from the ventral, the forward and rear ends have been truncated due to frost damage so the only the medial section remains. Light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic.

34 Tertiary flakes, average size length 12mm, width 17mm, thickness 3mm. Most have a light grey colour with a light patina. Date prehistoric.
