Description: | Snapped knapped flint blade of probable later Mesolithic or earlier Neolithic date (6500 - 3500 BC). The flint is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The ventral (reverse) face has a distinct bulb of percussion and conchoidal fractures which have been broken across loosing the striking platform and heel of the flake. The dorsal face show several flake scars. There is abrupt retouch to the long edges on the dorsal face, although this may be a result of plough-roll / abrasion as it does not seem regular. The flint is a grey colour with a series of flaws and different coloured areas in the matrix. The flint measures 29.3mm length, 10.6mm width, and 5.4mm thick; it weighs 1.51 grams.
