Description: | Piece of flint waste probably dating to the Middle Bronze age, (1500-1150BC). It is a pointed oval in plan. One surface is covered with a rough light brown cortex. The opposite surfaces are smooth with a mottled white patina. The flint has been struck from a striking platform on the wider rounded end which has resulted in some of the cortex fracturing off below the cortex. The pointed end appears to have occurred by chance, and there is no evidence of use as a borer. One edge of the flint has been roughly reworked and possibly used ad hoc for scraping rather than having been produced for this function.
