Description: | Flint borer, triangular in plan and a curved plano convex in profile. The dorsal side is convex with a central ridge. There has been some large flake removal from the surface. The distal end has been worked into a thick point. The proximal end has had a controlled fractured edge which has some abrasion. The right margin is serrated and the left margin has a notch near to the distal tip. On the ventral side the right margin is partly retouched and partly notched. On the left margin it is part chipped and part retouched. The proximal end is spalled.The flint is mid grey brown with light beige inclusions in colour.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 186, Fig. 76, No. 2 which is dated to the Bronze Age period.
