Description: | A complete knapped flint adze or axe of Mesolithic date. Some cortex has been left at the butt end and extends up the centre of the lower surface of the tool, just over a third of the length. The upper surface has a high central ridge, bevelled to each side, and a steep, 'tranchet' removal at the blade end. The lower surface has a shallower central ridge, bevelled to each side, with longer, far more shallow, removals at the blade end. The sides are slightly wavy and battered but the removals are generally fairly crisp. The flint is a mottled light-grey colour with some darker and some cream patches.
