Description: | A Mesolithic tool on a possibly broken bladelet; possibly a burin. In plan the burin is sub-rectagnular with the dorsal surface having three linear vertical scars, and the ventral surface having a flat surface as proximal end is missing, but this is not a recent break. The burin is triangular in section. One lateral edge has cortex remaining, the other has possible area of re-touch, but it is not fine and may be damage. The distal end is obliquely angled with the lower corner forming the possible tool section. The flint is of a mottled light grey to mid grey colour. It measures 13.94mm in length, 7.09mm in width, 2.78mm thick and weighs 0.3g.The possible burin dates to the Mesolithic period, (-8300 - -4500).
