Description: | Flint flake, or chip which has been snapped at the distal end, probably accidentally. It could have been a longer flake, more like a blade originally, The cortex shows signs of heat damage, very little still remains. There is a worked notch on the lower left hand edge, dorsal view, and signs of retouch/edge trim on the same side, but at the upper left hand edge. Probably a notched flake.The flint is of a dark grey colour, with reddish tinge from heat damage, showing on cortex and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig.57, No.L114 which is dated to the Neolithic.
