Description: | Flake of local greensand chert which may originally have been a blade. It has been snapped at proximal and is now a flake with serration on both edges. It may have been hafted originally, then snapped. A strong medial ridge and is abraded at the distal end.The chert is a dark grey dense colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 127, fig.55, No.L93 which is dated to the Neolithic.
