Description: | A large flint flake, probably Mesolithic, and possibly a flake removed during core rejuvenation. There appears to be negative removal scars on two sides of the flake. There are two small areas of cortex remaining on the flake, one of which occurs at what seems to have been the striking platform. There is no clear evidence for the flake having been subject to further retouch after it was removed from the core. The flint is a grey to cream in colour with areas of brown ochre. The remaining cortex is a darker brown in colour. It measures 45.7 mm in length, 23.7 mm wide, 12 mm thick and weighs 14.5 grams.
