Description: | Tertiary waste of dark grey coloured flint probably dating to the Neolithic period (3500 - 2500 BC). The flake is broadly rectangular with clear flake facets on the dorsal face. The ventral face has a clear bulb of percussion and conchoidal fractures; the bulb has been trimmed as has the striking platform on the edge of the flake. The flake is heavily plough rolled and evidence of reworking cannot be seen. It is possible it may have been reworked into a side scraper. The matrix of the flint is coarse and this might suggest that it may be chert or poor quality possibly from a local glacial or riverine source. The flake measures: 34.9mm length, 28.7mm width is 5.6mm thick and weighs 5.87 grams
