Description: | A flint blade of probable Neolithic date.The blade is roughly rectangular in plan and of sub-trapezoidal section. At the proximal end of the ventral surface is a clear bulb-of-percussion and diffuse ripples. Both long sides have a serrated appearance, possibly as a result of utilisation damage. A small amount of cortex remains on one edge of the lightly patinated, translucent grey flint. The distal end of the implement appears to have been broken off. The tool measures 30mm long, 15.2mm wide, 3.7mm thick and weighs 1.68g.
