Description: | A broad and quite thin hard hammer struck flake of fine translucent dark brown flint. The removal was from an abaded edged platform and this has left the flake thinned with bladelet scars running from the proximal end. The distal end has been straight truncated. The right margin has been semi-abruptly retouched and there is a small notch and denticule in the left margin. A sharp cutting flake; likely made from a nodule of imported Devon nodular flint. Mercer(1981) illustrates a flake used as a knife on page 141, fig 62, L188.
