Description: | Neolithic arrowhead; knapped flint projectile head, probably a large arrowhead, of late Neolithic date (c.2500-2100 BC). The artefact is roughly shaped and may be unfinished. It is broadly triangular in shape with neither tang nor barbs and both sides of the triangle have concave shaping. One face is flat and the other is shaped from a central ridge to give a triangular cross-section. There is little evidence of secondary working at the point or edges but the butt end is well worked. The tip is broken off. The projectile is formed from translucent grey-blue flint.Length 36.3mm, width 23.5mm, thickness 5.8mm, weight 4.33g
