Description: | Borer or piercer on pebble flint. Sub trapezoidal plan and a triangular section. Various flake scars remain on the ventral face. Both lateral edges have been retouched at the distal end to form a point. The right margin has been retouched to create a concaved edge, at the centre of the piece at the distal end. The dorsal face at the proximal end has minor retouch. There is cortex remaining on the left margin which runs from the centre of the piece to the proximal end. There is use wear along the concaved left lateral edge.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig 71, No 1 which dates to the Late Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age.
