Description: | Tertiary waste of pale grey-yellow coloured flint probably dating to the (earlier) Neolithic period (4000 - 2500 BC). The flake is broadly rectangular with an unusual fracture on one edge (possibly a hinge fracture). There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. The edge of the flake nearest bulb of percussion shows a series of relic scars from previous working. These are damaged by plough abrasion butt suggest that a series of small narrow blade were removed prior to the creation of this flake. This possibly suggests that this flake was removed as part of core rejuvenation, however does not look like the most common rejuvenation flakes.The flake measures: 25.2mm length, 34mm width is 6.4mm thick and weighs 5.06 grams
