Description: | Flint flake, ovoid in plan and a narrow triangle in profile. The dorsal side has marked ripples emanating up across the surface. The distal end is notched and on the left margin there is a thin snapped edging into cortex. The proximal end has some impact damage. On the ventral side the upper left margin is serrated. The surface has some snapped and flake loosened damage.The flint is translucent and dark brown with a beige-coloured secondary cortex. It has a high lustre and may originate from Beer Head.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig. 71, No. 8 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
