Description: | A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint tool quite possibly a knife. The tool is formed from a large flake. Percussion blows in the area around the bulb of percussion have clearly removed parts of the flake to make it more comfortable to hold, and an area of cortex appears to have been deliberately retained for this purpose. The piece has one sharp edge which has been subject to fine retouch from both dorsal and ventral sides. The flint is dark grey to pale grey in colour with small patches of cream cortex remaining.
