The distal end has a notch and the proximal end is part clean snapped and part fractured. There is cortex on the left margin and the upper part of the right margin is snapped with some large flake removal mid way. The ventral side is mostly cortex. The distal and left margin have had some rough flake removal.The flint is pale grey with a broad edging of rust and a secondary cortex of beige and tan in tones and colouring.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig. 71, No. 8 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
