Description: | A Mesolithic flint waste blade, possibly retouched to form a burin. The flake has at least one burin spall removed from the distal end at the right edge, and there may be a further removal on the left edge. These removals may have formed a boring point, if they are not accidental. The ridge running down the centre of the flake appears also to have had some retouch, perhaps blunting the implement making it easier to hold. The tool measures 36.74 mm long, 10.00 mm wide, 7.41 mm thick and weighs 2.7 grams. It is a pale grey to white flint with brown and grey inclusions. It is triangular in section.
