The dorsal side surface has a large central concavity left from flake removal and there is fracturing near the snapped proximal end. The distal edge is serrated. The lower right margin is snapped with surface retouch; the upper right margin is cortex as is the left margin. The ventral side surface is slightly convex and the left margin has a hinge fracture.The flint is semi-translucent and mid grey with cream inclusions in colouring. The secondary cortex is also cream toned.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig. 63, No. L. 207 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
