Description: | A tertiary waste flake of probable Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date. The flake is an irregular quadrilateral shape with a diagonal break at the distal end. The ventral face is curved and smooth with evident ridges down its length due to a heavy strike. There is some bulbar scarring. The dorsal face is broadly flattened as a result of numerous multi-directional removals, some breaking off due to flaws in the flint, especially at the proximal end. There is no obvious retouching. The flake has a stained translucent orange/red colour with light-grey bands with a small area of cortex on the dorsal face.
