Description: | A prehistoric flint waste flake with evidence of retouching probably from the Neolithic or early Bronze age. The flake is an irregular triangular shape and curved in profile. There is no visible bulb of percussion, bulbar scar or striking platform on the ventral face. There is a depression where the flake has been pressure flaked for retouch where the bulb or percussion was visible but is now lost. Most of the evidence of retouch is visible on the dorsal face, which also has three main removals which taper to a point. The flint is grey in colour, a small area of quartz is visible adjacent to edge of the dorsal face. There is also evidence of iron staining on both the dorsal and ventral faces.
