Description: | A prehistoric worked flint, probably a late Neolithic to early Bronze Age arrowhead. The flint is broken, making its precise function slightly uncertain. However, it has been finely retouched in the manner seen on many arrowheads of this period and there is a strong possibility it is a broken arrowhead. The flint is brown in colour and has been subject to retouch around all edges. It is sub-trapezoidal in plan, but presumably would have been sub-triangular in shape prior to the break. It seems likely that the tip of the arrowhead is the part that is missing, although rotating the flint may suggest alternative areas of intended impact. Alternatively, the flint may have served as a tool for some other purpose. It measures 39.3 mm long, 20.8 mm wide, 4.9 mm thick and weighs 5.0 grams.
