Description: | Single platform flint core which has had a multitude of flakes struck off it, leaving a distinctive shape to the core, like a 'flared' skirt. Later, there has been retouching at the edge to make it into a scraper. Very little sign of any remaining cortex.The flint is a mid to dark grey colour with cream inclusions and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 156, Fig.65, no.5 which is dated to the late Neolithic.
