Description: | A probable late Neolithic oblique flint arrowhead (about 2500-2100 BC). This arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan and one barb is noticeably longer than the other; one having a rounded end and the longest edge curves outwards and continues downwards and the base curves inwards. The barbs and pointed end are not present. The less concave edge includes semi-abrupt retouching and a blunted edge. This may suggest that it was used as a scraper. It is white speckled with medium grey. See Butler's Prehistoric Flintwork, page 161.Length: 25.3mm; Width: 22.1mm; Thickness: 5mm; Weight: 3.07g
