Description: | Possibly flint hand tool of Neolithic date. A fragment of a flint pebble, 125mm long and 40mm wide, with cortex still present on the remaining original, rounded surface. The flint is blue-grey in colour, with some cream mottling. Some retouching is visible along one internal edge, creating a subtle serrated edge possibly used for cutting. If truly a deliberately worked flint, it is an ad-hoc tool produced for emergency use, rather than a tool following the styles and conventions of known prehistoric tools.
