Description: | A piece of flint which is probably not worked and natural. The flint is very broadly speaking arrowhead shaped, but this is most likely to be a result of natural processes rather than human intervention. The flint does not show clear evidence for deliberate retouch on any of its edges, and the uneven patina on parts of the flint suggests that damage to the some areas occurred more recently than others. Although the flint resembles an arrowhead, it does not fit into any recognised typology for Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads and in any case seems to large. A number of archaeologists have looked at images of this flint, and all agree that it is unlikely to have been shaped by human actions.
