Description: | Incomplete piece of worked Portland chert, possibly a chisel arrowhead of late Mesolithic or possibly late Neolithic date. It is formed on a thin tertiary flake but the bulb of percussion has been removed on the ventral side by retouch, some arises from previous removals remain on the dorsal face. It is now trapezoid in plan with a snap across the short end, long scalar semi abrupt retouch down the sides on both faces and a few chips from the broad blade. One side (that closest to the previous position of the bulb) is much more heavily reworked than the other on the dorsal face. It is 22.3mm long, 23.9mm wide and 5.9mm thick; it weighs 2.87 grams.
