Description: | A possible knapped flint end scraper. The scraper is a mottled light grey colour. In plan it is a sub-rectangle with a rounded proximal terminal which appears to be the scraper element of the tool. In profile the proximal terminal is steep and has a series of small negative scars, i.e. retouch on the dorsal surface. This terminal feels worn and blunt. The dorsal surface has a deep recent scar, probably damage due to the plough. The ventral face (smooth face) has a small bulb of percussion. The scraper is 33.61mm long, 17.94mm wide and 13.93mm thick. It weighs 9.1g.The scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, c. 3500 to 1500 B.C.
