Description: | Two (2) secondary debitage flakes and seven (7) tertiary debitage flakes, probably dating from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age (2900 BC - 1800 BC).The flakes vary in size and are all irregular in plan and profile. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. They are the residue left over from tool production and direct evidence of flint working either on the site or in the locality. All the flakes demonstrate signs of abrasion, with uncontrolled flint scars present, from plough roll whilst in the plough soil.The secondary debitage flakes together weigh 46.3 grams. The first flake measures 61.14mm in length, 34.21mm wide, 12.48mm thick and weighs 25.7 grams. The second flake measures 38.62mm in length, 34.73mm wide, 13.37mm thick and weighs 20.7 grams.The tertiary debitage flakes together weigh 81.0 grams. Flake 1 measures 40.05mm in length, 32.24mm wide, 20.50mm thick and weighs 27.1 grams. Flake 2 measures 52.89mm in length, 41.40mm wide, 14.47mm thick and weighs 38.8 grams. Flake 3 measures 36.63mm in length, 24.83mm wide, 8.36mm thick and weighs 6.4 grams. Flake 4 measures 24.02mm in length, 28.62mm wide, 7.19mm thick and weighs 3.7 grams. Flake 5 measures 31.38mm in length, 14.06mm wide, 6.21mm thick and weighs 2.1 grams. Flake 6 measures 20.26mm in length, 14.05mm wide, 6.24mm thick and weighs 1.8 grams. Flake 7 measures 14.36mm in length, 11.96mm wide, 7.29mm thick and weighs 1.2 grams.All the debitage together weigh 127.3 grams.The debitage has been photographed in two groups; secondary and tertiary.
