Description: | A fragment of an uncertain Neolithic tool. It has been strained by iron rich soil. The object has a rough oval section, with retouched sides. One end is rounded, the opposite terminal is blunt. It has been heavily knapped. The flint has a light whitish-grey patination. Multiple flakes have been removed from the surface of the tool, but it does not appear to have been polished. No natural cortex survives on the surface. Ripples of percussion can be seen with in the make up of the flakes that have been removed. The arrises are steep. The object probably dates to circa 3500-2100 BC.
