Description: | A short flake of tan brown and grey brown flint with opaque cream inclusions, struck from the cortex and removing some of a flaked core face. The distal margin has been abruptly retouched and left the right tip as a point, possibly a piercer. There is some slight invasive retouch on the the right truncated margin at the distal end. Perhaps this is use wear. Mercer(1981) in Cornish Archaeology illustrates 'edge trimmed flakes' on page 129, fig 56, L95-L107.
